An Evening Walk
Uploaded: September 24, 2007
F5.6, 2s, ISO 100, 77mm, Ambience filter added, taken this evening after sunset at Indian Rocks Beach, FL.
The ambience filter brightened the image slightly and made the wave a bit whiter than the original, but it did not change the overall color of the image. The pastel color of the sun's reflection is what my camera captured.

I thought I had this entered for the 22nd, but must have just missed the deadline. So I pulled this and added a bit of Ambience filter.

Kate, I have heard of Anna Maria Island, but don't know exactly where it is. I will have to look it up.

So simple..so beautiful! #8688044Carol Teal June 11, 2010 0
Though it has been awhile, thank you Katarina, Donna, and Phyllis! And Danny, thank you for looking! I can't believe I actually got this shot with the sandpiper because these birds are never still and I was using a slow shutter speed to soften the water and because of the rain and cloudy skies. The sun was just begining to peek out after raining almost all day. It finally cleared enough that we had a spectacular sunset, but this was taken a little before that happened. #8688726Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
