These two photos were taken within seconds of each other. But they look a lot different. What did I do to create these two different looks? Go ahead, take a guess. LOL
Well, you could have increased the size of the aperture in the second, your auto-metering on the camera may have changed the settings, you could have changed the exposure compensation.... But I am thinking that you used a filter, such as a piece of glass....
You changed the point within the composition where the metering occurred which in turn changed the shutter speed.
If you metered on the sky (the brighter area) you'd get a faster shutter speed and darker overall scene; if you metered on the foreground or, on the horizon, you'd get a slower/longer shutter speed and lighter overall scene.
Thank you to those that attempted to guess what I did to make the two photos different. Broliver had the closest guess...

What I used was my sunglasses over the lense. It definately had an influence over how the shot turned out. I think I will use that tool again in the future.
Went into Windows Picture It and lightened the exposure by about a dozen notches. Both are dramatic, although the first is actually more so.
No. Much more simple than that. But a good guess. Lol
I have no idea, but the first photo is quite beautiful.

Thank you, Kavika. It is the favored one out of the 12 pics that I took of that sunset.
Oooooh, Broliver! You are sooooo close.
