Wanda12_04_04.jpg

This photo is from the end of the fourth day of our Southern California road trip. This is somewhere north of Malibu. The sunset made for a beautiful walk along the beach. It was cold and windy; but, I still had a hard time getting Wanda to come back to the car. Here is another from the same evening http://www.pbase.com/slowpokebill/image/37220006

Canon EOS 20D ,Canon 50mm f/1.8

This is one of My favorites. I like the way it triggers My memory and I can almost feel the ocean breeze on My face as I recall that walk along the beach. I found the cutest pine cone that had been washed up on the shore. I tossed the shells I had picked up and decided to keep the cone as My souvenir.

Terrific shot Bill. Looks like you guys had fun in my State!

This pretty close to the real color...the sky may have been a touch pinker. I was really happy this came out. The sun had been down for a few minutes. To keep the sky on the horizon from being over exposed completely I had to under expose the foreground. In post processing I lighten the foreground back up to balance the exposure to reality. It was a fantastic sunset.
