Under Light

Gallery: LandscapePosted October 12, 20131,205 views11 comments

I have not been around very much lately. Work has been plentiful.

I made this last week as I waited for the appearance of the new moon. To my disappointment, it was to faint to see, but as I waited, the sun glade across the waters of the Pacific as the sun set was something I had not seen in a long time. In my experience when a sun glade appears on the water coupled with a warping sun, as it did just a short while later, the elusive green flash would appear. It did, but not as strong as I would have hoped. I will post it next.

In the meantime, for your viewing.

Nikon D2x, Nikon 400mm f/5.6, ISO 100.

Simplicity at it's finest Youssef. Sorry you didn't catch your moon! No nits here, a wonderful take on a classic sunset.

Simple and graphic. I like this a lot, Youssef. The glow on the water ties it all together.
