Pacific Sunset
2010-02-28 This evening I walked down to the beach for some sunset shots, much as I did last year. I put the camera on a tripod and got as low to the sand as I could and waited for the water to cover these two rocks, then opened the shutter for .8 seconds to get the motion of the retreating water. It's actually a composite - the main image had the sky blown out, so I stole the more detailed one from a photo I took a few seconds later. Also, this concludes my Year 2 of the One/Day Project!!! I started on 2/29/08, so tomorrow will be the start of Year 3! I'm excited to keep going - I've had a lot of fun so far, and I really appreciate the supportive community on SmugMug. I've also learned a lot along the way and it's very satisfying to go back to the earlier days and see personal improvement. I'm also working on changes to the website, so stay tuned and bear with me as I tweak things. I wrote a post about finishing two years on my blog, so check it out! Take care and see you all tomorrow! Check out my Year 3 gallery... [last year]

on March 24, 2011Great capture. I love how the formation of the clouds, the flow of the waves and the light all drive the eye into the foreground. Beautiful soft colors. A winner !

on March 2, 2010This has a magical feel to it and wonderful colors. I like how the exposure captured the movement of the water.
Big congrats on completing year #2 and glad you'll be around for year #3.
