I’ve started to collect a little back log of sunset photos where I only really got one or two decent photos from the trip. Instead of bloging about them individually, I figured I would post them up in sets. Here is the first set of misc shots.

The wave’s erosion have almost taken over this last piling.

A group of Royal Terns rest on the beach.

I love the focal point of this shot. Almost makes the boat in the background look like a toy.

And one of my all time favorite sunset shots.

I made way down to the Aqualane Shores beach access and walked down to the large set of pilings that usually have some sort of action.

There was nothing really happening in the sky or the shores, so I figured I would play with exposures and shutter speeds to see if I couldn’t get anything interesting.

Check the full post for the dramatic results!!!

A little too dark.

Trying that again from a low position.

Now lets slow the shutter down and wait for a larger wave to come in and capture it on the recession!

Another attempt, but at a funkier angle.

Looking back at the beach, there were some beautiful colors coming in.

With the experiments complete, it was time to just watch the end of another beautiful week.

Oh, by this time I was sitting up on top of the pilings. The trick to this is to pick one that isn’t full of seagull and pelican poop.

There was a rain storm that had just passed through. And the sun was set to go down in 20 minutes. I grabbed my gear and raced down to the Naples Pier to see if I could get anything out of it…

Probably one of the most dramatic shots of the Naples Pier I have taken.

The tide was about as low as it gets.

I didn’t get to see the sun drop, but I was given this beautiful after glow.

And a final parting shot before the lights went out.
