Altitude Separation

Hey all, hope you had a very nice weekend. It is my first day back at work after a very enjoyable vacation where I stayed home the whole time. We were able to spend some time at home with our two boys and attend the annual Grand Haven Coast Guard Festival and Saturday night fireworks show. It runs about forty minutes and as usual it was spectacular even though there where waaaaay too many people in attendance. Loads of fun anyhow.


Back just a bit when I was down in South Haven I was able to snap some pix of a really interesting sunset. Using my 40D with a EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS lens I set the lens on the back of a park bench and got some really nice images. This one was at 1/1250 at f/4.5 with an ISO of 400.

The sunset started out really mucky and I did not think I was going to get anything worth while. The I saw some rays of light peeking out from the bottom of the clouds and figured this could have some possibilities. I especially like the image above as the clouds, sky, water, and sand all play an integral part of the image while leaving the sun, birds, and reflection as the primary focus point. Its thats frame within a frame kind of thing.

I'll have to see what my travels will produce this week on the G9 so check back later this week.
