Seems I only venture out to get shots at the beach when the beach is closed. With (reported) rises in COVID cases, the beaches were closed for the Independence Day weekend due to expected crowds. That resulted in a whole bunch of people milling around at sunset on the bluff where I was shooting this. I was extremely pleased to be able to get a void in the parade of humans on the pathway just at the moment during which the sun dipped below the horizon. Sometimes you just get lucky.
Got a little lens flare, but in this case I thought it actually kind of works. Better on black.
Beautiful sunset and great vantage point! Last time I tried to shoot the sunset in Laguna, I was in the wrong spot so the sun sank behind the hill and I couldn’t see it. Next time I’ll pick a better spot.
Lovely perspective, clarity and colour, such a shame you have gone back into COVID-19 restrictions and can't use the beach, but in saying that Ron you still have lots of wonderful places like this still available:)
@redy4et Yeah, from Heisler Park here, the peninsula gets in the way. Give it a few weeks and we'll have the sun dropping at the sea again. Thanks, Elizabeth.
@koalagardens Much appreciated m'lady. Staying safe whether we want to or not. They posted signs indicating anyone caught on the beach would receive a 1,000 USD fine!
@pcoulson Thanks, Peter. Yes, in reality we are still allowed to get out and about to a certain degree. There are just some prime desirable places that are off limits for the time being......again. :-(
@ludwigsdiana Thanks Diana. Gotta wonder why there is no action taken against those who congregate to protest, but those of us who simply want to get out and take photos are subjected to restrictions, threats and fines. Crazy.
