Pier at Panama City Beach

Uploaded: August 20, 2011 07:23:13

Description

Taken about twenty minutes after sunset at Panama City Beach, Florida. This shot was a challenge because a strong breeze made it hard to keep the camera steady on my tripod and my lens kept fogging up in the salt air. The moon was actually in that position...I combined two exposures, one with a slower shutter speed for the scene, and one with a faster speed to capture the moon sharply and to avoid overexposing it.

Exif: F Number: 9, Exposure Bias Value: -1.33, ExposureTime: 10/40 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 200, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 18.00 mm, Model: NIKON D50

Hi Larry! Congrats! When I opened it up, I said to myself, that looks like the Pier at PCB! And yep it was. Another great place to take photos at sunset are under the Hathaway bridge. I have photos of it that make it look like stainless steel!! Fun and congrats again. From up the road a piece in SRB.
