20050509 / Drama

Marina State Beach, CA

The sunsets of the California Central Coast are like improvisational theater. You
never know precisely what kind of sunset you will get, but you are almost always
guaranteed drama. Romance, tragic beauty, affirmation of life and more. All in the
death of the day.

I've desaturated an image or two from last week to get a different feel.

that dark swirl in the middle.. above teh setting sun .. looks like it could form a funnel cloud..

This is a fantastic sunset image; very dramatic, stunning colors. The darkness of the water and at the top of the photo give it an air of mystery .. as does the swirl coming down through the clouds. I like this a lot, Chris.

I use the de-saturate for skies as well, as needed. Sunsets throw the color correction properties of cameras into a tizzy. Sunset don't allow the time for folks like me to pull out the perfect filter. I used my sunglasses on one particular occasion. This is a great image; clean and crisp. g

I think chris below used the right discription. Magical is a good word to describe this image. Very beautiful colors and simply wonderful sunsets that you got there in California.

The clouds look like they are fighting to survive the day, really like the swirls in the clouds.
