About I increased the aperture to 22 to pull the rays from the sun at the cost of closer clarity and contrast . . . but it made for a serene seaside sunset. A fresh new day is due!

wonderful sunset shot Doyle, it will be dark soon. You have a clear sky not a cloud except for that white speck which I think is an airplane.
I like the gradiant of colors..

Love the jet !!!.. wonderful serene view !!

Cheers !

Thanks very much Nicole. It was a lovely place with a treacherous loose boulder beach . . . but bathed in 75 degree F warmth and very scenic. The 600 ft. (a guess) cliffs had a path down which turned out to be much easier to descend than re-climb! :)

I love this picture. You have the mood of almost every time of day in one photo! Outstanding!! The sun is so low that you can clearly see "Night" on the top, "Day" in the middle, and lastly, the beautiful mood the sun sets for your photo! Yes, this is indeed a great picture. I got many of those photos now that I'm always in P.V. myself. I also noticed the plane in the sky that has the smoke following it! It's right between the "Night" and the "Day" so this photo can be critiqued as a painting too. It can be a Shooting Star for Night or a Plane for the day. Idk, my imagination runs like that. I guess my only issue with this photo is that even though it's great, it's nothing original. Many people do photos like these every day. I'm glad you got everything you were shooting for while taking this shot, but the originality of this specific type of photo is very low.

~Your son, Devon.

Ohhh!! beautiful sunrise again Doyle... Hey you sleeping outside our what.. Let me know I want to pitch a tent next door.


Doyle D. Chastain   {K:99061} 1/28/2008
Thanks very much Carlos . . . I've found setting up a half an hour earlier allows ample time for set-up and a well time capture.
