Photographer's Note
This photograph of a sunset over some of the temples in the hilltop fort of Chittorgarh, Rajasthan, was scanned from a negative, so I do not have exposure details. I did not have a tripod with me, so I took it with the camera resting on a rock. The fireball effect of the sun is caused by dust in the air. Rajasthan is a wonderful part of India to visit for photography, but I haven’t been back since converting to digital, so I will have to find time to scan some more negatives when I have time. This was scanned to tiff, touched up with the PS healing brush to remove a few specks of dust in the sky, levels adjusted slightly to reduce the shadow on the temple, contrast reduced -15, saturation increased +8, then converted to jpeg and sharpened.

Hello David,
Another beautiful photo, I wonder if the photo could be adjusted more contrast or level.

hi David,
I like pictures like these for the mystic atmosphere. Great colours and very moody. Nice work.

Hi David
I tried a workshop to give it a bit more punch. See what you think. Superb color & composition. Well done!

Hi David- excellent hazy sunset behind a very ineteresting temple, perhaps the only advantage of dust and pollution is being able to photograph a full sun disc without overexposing it.

Nice mood. I looked at the workshops and I'm not sure wether the true "haze" look you posted or the crisper look is nicer but the haze is what you saw, so go with it.
