An Evening Walk

An Evening Walk

Uploaded: September 23, 2007

Description

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.

Peaches, Chris, Crystal, Tammy, Sherry, Kay, Brenda, Pat, Nikki, Steven and Kate, I appreciate your kind and encouraging comments. Kate, I have heard of Anna Maria Island, but don't know exactly where it is. I will have to look it up. Isn't it amazing what colors the sunset can produce? #4849249

This is stunning. I can see it on a wall in a Florida living room!
It lends the viewer to a peaceful feeling. What a great filter. Nice colors, perfect placement of the bird.
Wonderful image, but then again aren't all of yours!

So simple..so beautiful! #8688044

Carol Teal June 11, 2010

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. #8688726
