San Juan Island, Washington

San Juan Island Sunset

As the sun set over the Salish Sea with the Lime Kiln lighthouse in the
foreground I was simply enthralled to witness the changing light over
the course of about an hour. This particular moment was the climax of
the intense colors reflecting off the thin clouds and the unusually calm
waters. What an incredibly exciting moment to witness!

lt's been said but this really is most spectacular Jim.
The detail in the lighthouse really does make a big difference
to an already spectacular image.

Thank you very much, Terry and Cindy! Yes, I blended together 5 images and worked to balance the final result to accurately resemble what I saw when shooting. I really wanted to have some detail in the side of the lighthouse, so the only option was HDR.

Thanks!
Jim

Beautiful and technically amazing, Jim. I assume you used HDR.

The sunset doesn't get any better than this! You were at the right place at the right time and your capture of the spectacular colors is perfect.
