Low light at Rialto Beach. My camera saw a lot more light than my eyes could when I took this image at Rialto Beach. I was almost surprised at how much light was in this shot when I chimped it to see what I got. By this point in the evening I was shooting with the zoom at full wide, camera focused on infinity and aperture wide open.

The eyes see at a pretty fast "shutter" speed. The camera has the flexibility to collect photons over a period. Its amazing what all we can discover with long shutter esp. in the astro space.

Very nice image Alan. The light on the water mirroring that of the sky against the warm light on the horizon makes the image pop.

Thanks for the comments. What surprised me about what my camera captured was the fact that there was any color at all. I didn't see any when I squeezed that shot off. I was trying to get a nice shot of the evening star just above the horizon and it almost got lost in the upper part of the fading sunset colors. There was just a hint of light to the naked eye at the horizon and I was killing time waiting for it to go away entirely.

Effective use of your cam, all the right settings for the moment. It's nice that the technology is as good as it is...
