I’ve been trying to get some decent sunset images, to sell with the jackson stuff, these are my latest attempts. All of these are looking back toward Jackson over the Pearl river (which you can’t actually see in any of the images I posted). These can also be found in the jackson series folder in the gallery.

I love the moon at sunset!
I was wondering if you needed to explain to any of your audience why your images are square. I know you are probably using a medium format, but I wonder if some people might imagine that you crop your images to that shape . . .
Sadly, I think the majority of our audience probably knows this stuff already, but I appreciate the vote of confidence that other people are looking.
As Kathleen said I am shooting with medium format. I have avoided cropping like the plague since 97, when a professor forced me to shoot everything for a semester course full frame. In other words, 99% of my images are composed exactly as I see them through the camera, thus also disclosing that I shoot with a single lens reflex camera. The other 1% accounts for my sometimes odd inability to notice non parallel lines, meaning I occasionally rotate my images to make lines straight or parallel with the edges of the frame. And for the few gear-geeks that may be reading, I shoot with hasselbald equipment.
If any of this is too obtuse to non-photo types or just plain confusing, somebody say so.
