And the sun sets in the west




It's been very foggy out here by the beach. On a rare evening, one can catch a good sunset. This was near the Cliff House.

Wow -- Great pic!

I like the crisp detail of the bird silhouettes contrasting the fuzzy outline of the giant ball of fire!

Very interesting :)

Very nice sunset shot, Martin!

Let me guess, you used your 300mm on the dslr body?

33 years ago, I made a similar shot from the same location using Kodachrome, a cheap 400mm preset lens, and my Nikon F2. I enlarged it to 8x10 and gave a copy to Gail as a gift. I'm not sure if I can find it now, unfortunately, othewise I would scan it and post it here just for a fun comparison.
