Again, double post means a single theme for both images. Inspired by all the talk of ash clouds leading to nice sunsets, I&#8217;ve picked two of my recent favorite sunset\/dusk shots for this post.<\/p>\n<p>The first shot was indeed taken while the recent volcanic ash cloud was making a nuisance of itself over Ireland. It was taken from Jackson&#8217;s Bridge (located between Maynooth and Kilcock) looking west along the Royal Canal. In the foreground you can see the 14<sup>th<\/sup> lock. 13 Locks to the east of here the Royal Canal starts at the old docks in Dublin, and 32 locks to the west it enters the river Shannon.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bartbusschots.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/DSC_4244_tonemapped_TopazAdjust_2010-05-04.jpg\" alt=\"Royal Canal Sunset\" style=\"border-width:0px;\" width=\"450\" height=\"354\" \/><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/bbusschots\/4541573665\/\" target=\"_blank\">on Flickr<\/a> &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/bbusschots\/4541573665\/sizes\/o\/\" target=\"_blank\">Full-Size<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Camera:<\/strong> Nikon D40<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lens:<\/strong> Nikon DX AFS 18-55mm (D40 kit lens)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Exposure:<\/strong> 1\/500 sec<\/li>\n<li><strong>Focal Length:<\/strong> 38mm<\/li>\n<li><strong>Focal Ratio:<\/strong> <em>f<\/em>\/8<\/li>\n<li><strong>ISO:<\/strong> 200<\/li>\n<li><strong>Camera Mode:<\/strong> Full Manual<\/li>\n<li><strong>Processing:<\/strong> This shot was generated by tonemapping the original RAW file with Photomatix Pro, and then tweaking the resulting image with Topaz Adjust 4<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The second shot I&#8217;ve chosen is a little older, and pre-dates all the ash-cloud excitement.
