First Sunset of 2020

I headed to the coast after I heard that big waves were rolling in and was looking forward to shoot the sunset at Pebble Beach. I wanted to capture the waves splashing against the rocks.

Well done, nice lighting and composition. I can't believe the Lone Pine is still there!

Thanks Orv, yeah he is still here, though early in the year he lost one of the major branch.

Beautiful image and what's so nice to see is movement in the waves...to my mind it always looks so odd when people do long exposures and the water looks bland and uninteresting..( I think I,m possibly in the minority with that view though !!! 😁😁)

Thanks Tony, yeah I was trying different options here. I was happy with the results on this shot. Perhaps a bit more texture or clouds in the sky but that is how it goes.

Mission accomplished. Congratulations Erick!

Beautiful shot! I just wish that the composition was a little more left so that we could see the inside of the bay or where the near and far rock features meet and the sea ends. Love the shutter speed choice though, just fast enough but not too fast!
