How did you get that without the sun washing everything out?
Heck of a shot, Dr. T! Stunning and gorgeous!!!
@MarkedMan:
I’m guessing sunset/sunrise-ish haze on the beach. Loves me that golden hour shooting.
@Flat Earth Luddite: Ah! Makes sense
Peaceful.
Lovely.
@MarkedMan: Mostly a fast shutter speed. 1/4000 of a second in this case. And as @Flat Earth Luddite notes, golden hour.
My camera has an electronic viewfinder, which makes it a lot easier (and safer!) to take shots at the sun and get the exposure right.
And thanks, all, for the compliments.
