sunset

We've had record-breaking warm temperatures this winter in France. The prolonged lack of snow in the Alps has disappointed everyone. People from all over the country book ski resorts well in advance for this time of year (schools are on vacation now). The landscape is pretty sad for photography...

Last week after 2 long nights of shooting Deep Space Astro in Joshua Tree National Park, I had planned to leave mid morning to head home after a bit of scouting around out in the desert. By the time I was done running around including trail running up 1500 feet up Ryan Mountain, I noticed that...

The stunning cliffs at Etretat, Normandy. 24 seconds of exposure at sunset with my Hasselblad X1D II, Hasselblad XCD 30mm and Formatt-Hitech Firecrest Ultra filters. Thank you for viewing, best regards Vieri

From a few weeks or more back up along the coast in California by San Simeon. I found this cool spot that I liked. Usually I am shooting so slow for the water, that birds flying turn into smears. So it was nice for once to have been shooting faster as the birds approached. I think they add a lot...

A spectacular sunset on the Basque Country coasts at Gaztelugatxe, a location I love and one offering many compositions besides the famous church on the islet that everyone shots. Looking for personal, original composition is very important for me on both iconic and lesser known locations, such...

Hey guys! Very interesting topic, and great stuff to see, here is one from Beit Yanai beach. _DSC3863-1-SV18 by lionking posted Nov 3, 2019 at 9:55 AM Cheers.

His pipe makes it for me.

Out at Venice Beach, California last weekend I was heading away from the side show sidewalk area and down to the beach. There was this berm I spotted where it would silhouette people with the almost setting sun in front. I thought there were a lot of stories here. I initially composed it with...

I went to Venice Beach in California last Sunday, mainly to see a few unusual people and do some Street Photography. But fortunately for me, the partly cloudy forecast held and I got some really sweet sunset photography in too. I don't get to Venice Beach very often as it's an hour drive or more...

Shot from Hwy 20, North Cascades. Sky by Luminar.

Really digging deep for these as they are from 12 years ago on a trip to Alaska where I essentially never processed any of the photos except for a couple. So I guess it's time to finally get to some. :rolleyes: This is in the Denali area. I have no idea what the names of the mountains are, this...

Since I dug in the archives to process a photo from Alaska for Friday's Focus I decided to dig a bit more and found another one. I recall the it was sunset which was lasting forever. One thing with Alaska is there can be hundreds of miles of roads where all you see is forest on both sides of the...

What a way to start a year and a decade. Out of nowhere those red, pink stripes of light started to take place in the sky for more than half an hour. What do you think about the composition? and in general?

This is back from last month. While on an errand to take one of the granddaughters to her Gymnastics class I took stopped for a moment on the side of the road to shoot towards the Rockies across some farmers fields to get this view. One thing with that part of Colorado is there is so many...

Rolling out a Carpet of Wildflowers that is. :) This is in the San Juan Mountains of SW Colorado up at Yankee Boy Basin at sunset. Not a lot of clouds at sunset as the earlier storm clouds we almost gone, but the majority that was left was behind me. But I liked that peak being lit up and the...

It looks like they are only harvesting snow at this point. :) This was from a month ago in Colorado. Grandkid #9 had just been born the day before, and this was on the way back from the hospital heading towards my daughters house north of Denver. I saw that the sunset looked like it might be...

From last week in Pismo Beach, California. It had been raining and stormy, with the sun making a last ditch effort to peek in. This is the Pismo Beach coastline, there are hotels hugging most of the coastline as you can see to the right. All comments are welcome, Jim

This is from one of the easiest sea caves to get to in the Pismo Beach area I think. Watching the tide is key in that area. I shot this last Saturday when I was up in Pismo. All comments are welcome, Jim

Driving down from Washington Pass, Silver Star catches the late afternoon light.

Last Sunday as I was shooting the Elephant Seals it was about 45 mins before sunset and there was some cool clouds and a potential for a good sunset. I knew that the Elephant Seals would be too dark along the sand to make a good foreground subject and there wasn't a lot of cool rocks at the...
