Sunset Series at Ft. Funston

Panasonic DMC-G1, Lumix 45-200mm

We had great weather last weekend. In my search for some sports/action shots for our January project, we went to Ft. Funston to see the hang gliders. When we got there, we discovered that there were no hang gliders there, none at all because there was no wind at all. However, the cloudy skies indicated that a fantastic sunset was coming, and we were not disappointed.

There was an empty lounge chair where the gliders would launch off the cliff. I told Gail to sit in the chair for the following picture:

Warren very dramatic. Did you rely on the native light or add to the golden effect?

Thanks Dan, I was in the mood for golden sunset images, so on some of the pictures, I added some warmth to get a more golden glow. On some, I didn't have to adjust because that's how the camera's sensor picked it up.

Great series, they're very interesting. The clouds are even beautiful characters themselves. That one with the squished sun (second to last) is amazing. Can't figure it out... squished sun!! ;) Did you set the timer for you and Gail in the third or is that someone else? It looks like it certainly was a wonderful evening. Well done!

Thanks Lea. :)

That was someone else. They happened to be posed perfectly for a romantic sunset shot.
