I took this evening photo on the boulevard of Harderwijk during sunset, this moment is also called the golden hour. In this photo, you can see the contours of the Strandeiland that lies in the Wolderwijd. When I took this photo there were not many boats in this part of Harderwijk's harbour, there was even still some Sahara sand in the air. You can see in the sky as in the reflection the orange/red glow of the sunset, and if you look a little closer you can also see some veil clouds in the sky. You can even see the reflection in the water. To make this photo, I took 9 different photos with different exposures and afterwards merged them into 1 HDR photo. Because of the long shutter speeds of the photos, I put the camera on a tripod, and I also used a remote control to avoid motion blur. Because this photo is an HDR, it is not overexposed around the sun and you can see the contours of the beach island and its dam well, the evening red is even more intense.
