Sunset at the Gate, Nikon D100, 85mm f1.8D
This was taken last Friday at Lincoln Park. Some light fog was beginning to blow in from the ocean. If you look closely, you can see Pt. Bonita Lighthouse jutting out from the Marin Headlands.

Hi Warren,
I'm delighted to have the honor of being to first to comment on your magnificent photo!
It is so simple, yet elegant. Sihouetting the tree and branches is the foreground is very effective. I also really like the "layer" effect of the point of land in the middle ground and the hills in the far background. Beautiful, subtle colors.
Thanks for the nice comment, Steve. I'm glad that this shot "hit" someone :).
BTW, it's interesting that we both posted pictures (different, but similar) to honor Memorial Day on our personal blogs.

I also like the silhouette of the trees with the hazy sunset in the background. The shallow depth of field really works well here.
I was concerned when I first started using my new 85mm f1.8D lens on the D100. In the 35mm film world, 85mm was one of my 3 most used lenses (24, 35, 85). Because of the digital crop factor, I was having difficulty using the 85mm on the D100 in the beginning. I think I'm getting used to "seeing" with it as I'm using it more. Now I realize that many of my recent posts were shot with this lens :).
