Taken after the Muench Print Workshop. There is another one later on this year and I would suggest it to anyone that actually prints there work, for themselves or for sale. Muench Prints II

Oh and don't even ask exactly where this was because I have no idea. I was just a passenger, all I know is it was down a hill and a half mile run to catch the sun before it dropped below the cliffs. I need a lighter bag :whew. Oh and Marc, I got tar on my bare feet. I almost didn't believe you. Weird.

    Cool shot, Nick.

    I can just see you and Aaron running along with all your gear chasing the falling sunlight!


    I enjoyed spending the time with you and Aaron this weekend.

    See you this fall.

    Good stuff. Can I make a criticism for you? The upper half is a bit blown out on the highlights. Did you use a neutral density filter by chance? If not, I suggest trying that to really pull back some of those highlights a bit and make your scene more light balanced :D
    Thanks for sharing! Keep those feet clean hehe

    Don't remember but I think it was around 2-3 seconds. I would have liked to gone longer than that but the waves hitting my tripod would have moved the camera.

    I did have a grad ND with me but I was in a mad rush before I lost the light so I decided to take the picture rather than miss it and find my grad ND. The sky could be darker and I'll probably go back and do that eventually. All CC is gladly welcomed. Thanks
