Description

One of the things I love about photography is that it requires a blend of preparation and luck to get a shot that I'm pleased with. For this image, my tripod was set up on the lanai and I had mounted a 10X ND filter on the lens. I wasn't expecting much from rainy sunset skies, but then sunlight appeared long enough to get this shot.
