Thank you. 45 years of photography and the Lord God humbles me every capture of the beauty He shares with the world.

Behind The Lens
Location
Off of the California coast near Point Dume/Malibu area.Time
Nearing the time of sunset. I had over a hundred frames in rapid succession and later discovered this was the best shot.Lighting
Natural lighting is always the best, but I did have to post process with Photoshop to calm down the brightness shooting directly into the setting sun.Equipment
Nikon D5100 with a Nikkor 55-300 mm/4.5-5.6 GED lens, Vivitar filters, and a great blessing from my Heavenly Father.Inspiration
A free day off from my military duties is all I needed to inspire me to go shooting. I don't believe in luck so I give all the glory to my Heavenly Father in providing me with this momentous capture.Editing
I did have to post process with Photoshop to calm down the brightness shooting directly into the setting sun.In my camera bag
Now I have a Nikon D750, D5100 (used for this shot), Fuji S7000, tripod, Macro kit, and filters.Feedback
Pray before you go shoot as the Creator is in charge of the wonders you will encounter and He will give you the guidance on the What, When, Where, and How if you believe and let Him guide you. David Blakley Photography
