This was taken at the Pleasure Pier in Galveston, Texas. During the day, the place is kind of boring photographically, but you can make it interesting right after sunset. When dark, you can really slow down the shutter speed to smooth out the waves and make the scene serene. I set my tripod as low as I can without getting the lens wet and shot this picture at 30 sec. In Galveston, the sun sets on the bay side. If you want the sun in the pic, you have to make up early in the morning. (Sony A7R, Zeiss 24-70mm FE at 24, ISO = 100, f/13, 30 sec) |

I took this pic in Galveston, Tx. It really doesn't have to be in Galveston, in fact. All you need is a nice sunset and few palm trees. Nice sunset comes from good timing and little bit of clouds. You can play with the white balance or post-processing to increase the warmth. Some camera even comes with a sunset setting.
The trees are silhouetted because the camera is adjusting the exposure to the bright sky. Sometimes you have to adjust the exposure manually to darken the picture to blacken the silhouette. I cropped out the top third to cutout the sky with not much action so that the picture looks more balanced. (Nikon D90, Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 at 62mm f/4.8, 1/160, handheld, ISO = 800) |
