Golden Moment

Uploaded: January 23, 2011

Description

The setting sun turned the beach grass into strands of gold while the clinging water drops left by the recent rain glistened like diamonds. This is the mouth of Brush Creek at sunset. The larger distant rock is Island Rock. The steep slope on the left of the photo is the base of Humbug Mountain. (Southern Oregon Coast south of Port Orford)


(Nikon D700, 20mm f/2.8D lens. f/11.0, 1/500th second exposure, ISO 200)

Exif: F Number: 11, ExposureTime: 100/49999 seconds, ISO: 200, FocalLength: 20.00 mm, Model: NIKON D700
