Sunset over Thurso

Sunset over Thurso, originally uploaded by North Light.

A frustrating week photographically. I have been out with the camera a few times, and usually seem to be in the wrong place at the wrong time!
Tuesday evening was an exception, it did not look very promising, in fact I took very few photographs, but one image has made the week worthwhile, and has stopped the onset of the "Victor Meldrew" syndrome!
I am very impressed with HDR, I regard my self as very much a novice in its use and need to spend more time working with it. The goal is to use it to extend the dynamic range, but for the image not to look as though HDR has been used. Not sure if this is realistic, time will tell.
