Seems I go in spurts with images doesn’t it, and I guess I’m on a roll right now! The other night when we were at the Martinez Regional Shoreline, I seemed to get some decent images although I didn’t think that would be the case when I got there. I’ve been there before but not so much with my camera. Initially I sort of wondered what I would be photographing, but as the sun dipped in the sky, a wonderful golden light was cast everywhere. There was hardly any wind (a rarity for this area) so the reflections became like glass.
Normally I don’t really care for marina shots…I mean how many do we see? Soooo many. But the light, color and reflection were so amazing that I just couldn’t resist!

OOH! It wasn’t this pretty down in the South Bay, but looking North I could it was a beauty! We had no color. I’m so glad you were out with your camera and are sharing this. It’s gorgeous!

Let me bestow on you a secret….use the shade white balance setting when taking sunsets. It makes it SO much more intense!!! I mean, there was color here but not quite this much. 🙂

I usually use AUTO or Daylight wb and underexpose, but haven’t used shade wb. THANKS for that tip! I’ll try it the time I’m shooting a sunset!

I usually do that too but for sunsets shade works really well sometimes, especially if there is not much of one. That’s when I use it most.
