At first I was pretty disapointed. There was nothing interesting around. No birds, no rock formations. Didn't look like a sunset was developing. Looked like I was going to be back at camp in time for dinner. On my way back several birds caught my attention and looking behind me I saw there was a sunset trying to happen. and lots of birds on the beach. On that note I returned to the beach and see what I could get. and this was the outcome. I was quite pleased and as usual late for dinner.Equipment
Nikon D300s, 18-200 Nikor lens, Hand heldInspiration
The fantastic color of the sunset, The birds marching by backlit by the setting sun and the waves in the background.Editing
I try to keep processing to a minimum as a general rule as was the case for this shot. A little tweeking of highlights and shadows. Color vibrance and some sharpening in lightroom.In my camera bag
I have switched to a Sony A6000 Which I keep a Sony 18-200mm on. Also a Sony A6500 which I keep an 11-16mm. I'm not patient enough to change lenses so this allows me switch from super wide to super zoom.Feedback
Be patient and Have a patient, forgiving spouse.
