California Sunset by pflaume

California Sunset

This was an absolutely glorious sunset. Probably one of the best I have seen when I was set up and waiting for it. I am not used to photographing the ocean and wasn't really sure what shutter speed to use to make the most of the moving water. I floundered a bit, but with a sunset this pretty, it was hard to go too wrong. (Please click for black.)

I will be away for the next week, but look forward to catching up with you all when I get back!

Gorgeous - instant fav!

@pflaume it really depends on whether im trying to freeze it into sharp waves or make them misty. Usually I do a variety and see what I like the best
March 20th, 2016  
I think your choice was right on target. Beautiful.

Great image, still some detail in the waves and gorgeous colours. If you really want to smooth out the waves a ND filter is the way to go.

What beach? Rodeo in SF area. I think I've been there! Gorgeous!!!
March 25th, 2016  
@alophoto Hi Amanda! You have a new name and account@! You are right! It is Rodeo Beach. Great eye! Isn't it a beautiful place?!
March 25th, 2016  
@pflaume Love that I could identify a beach with a rock formation. It was our favorite beach in Cali and we went a few times. Miss it. Miss the ocean. Yeah, it was time for a change. I have all these random views and it's creeping me out a bit. I thought the change would make me harder to find. Didn't work.

Lovely sunset with wonderful colour Lisa and an instant fav. I am one for slowing the water down so would use a longer exposure. Congrats on the TT!
