Sailboat Sunset

This is a quick photo I took last Monday evening by the Siwash Rock in Stanley Park, Vancouver.

I was out teaching a mini-workshop to a friend on how to take sunset seascapes, so most of my attention was helping him with composition and technical aspects of that, but I had my camera resting on my bag with the Tamron 150-600mm lens on just in case. Just as the sun started to set behind the hills on Vancouver Island, this sailboat came by, and I took the opportunity to fire off a quick sequence of shots (hand-held, very unusual for me!)
