Red Sea Sunset, this photo shows us the powerful sunset that can be found in the desert and on the Red Sea coastline in particular. The sky is lit with orange, red and blue light that has been caught and reflected back in the water. In the distance we can see some of the high mountains that surround this stretch of water and when they reflect the light in the evening give the sea its name due to the red colour the water is given. This image has used 'HDR' High Dynamic Range techniques to bring out the huge range of colours that are invisible to the naked eye.
