Thanks.

Ha, I feel your pain.
Very nice Dave
This morning. Not sure if I love it or not. I like the composition, not necessarily the execution.

I like the composition too. Execution seems good.
TO get it any better, might have to be one of those guys that carrys reflectors and diffusers and such (to get light into area where the moss is). Or maybe a different time of day might be different.
What I also find impressive is just that you saw that, and recognized it could be a good image.

Interesting that you noticed that. Yah, from lower perspective to minimize the sand beach foreground and get some of the reflection in the wet sand, so hadto get the shot after a wave came in and went back out. (but wasnt good for that then, something about being by the pier, seem to get waves from a couple directions)
Went for late afternoon ride, and went down by beach again. More of an actaull sunset tonight.
With same situation of lots of folks around to see sunset.

THen about 30 seconds after the last of the sun drops below the horizon, most of the folks turn and head back to parking lot or boardwalk to downtown.
THe photographers that stay just turn up the ISO a bit and wait and see what happens.

THen wait longer for the catwalk light to come on.
Then wait longer for the beacon lights to start flashing.
THe two lights flash at different duration and period, but if try, can catch both on at same time.

Okay, enough of that.

Funny you say that. I used my phone light to light up the green plants in the dark area on later shots, but the golden light of the sunrise had already left so the lighting on the stump had become harsh.
Scott, nice work on the action shots. I goofed around with the camera once at a baseball game. Not an easy task to follow the action, especially when zoomed in.
Dave, I love your pier images and the progression of dark. I've observed the same as you regarding the masses leaving right after sunrise or sunset. I love the shot with the lights on. Transition is one of my favorite, and sometimes, most troublesome subjects to photograph.
By transition I'm talking about light meets dark, light fading into shadow, day meets night, etc. Those times when a mere minute or two can completely make or undo an image. Time passes very quickly in those moments.

Ah,... the transition you mentioned. The light spilling out from inside there.
I probably would have walked right past there and said something like "only the inside is illuminated....nothing interesting in there."
As a matter of fact, I think I did almost exactly that that other evening. Maybe I should go back.
THanks, Glen.
Spent my Columbus Day Holiday running around the state to include getting out to Caesar Creek:

And out to Rock Mill; there's not a lot of water anywhere and I learned I must get a permit to access the area where I can take really nice photos.

Love the swinging bridge shot.
I only took this because I felt like I should. Some odd feeling of obligation as I drove by this scene that I pass while going to park at the reservoir. It was unremarkable enough when taking it that I forgot about until reviewing my pics when I got home. Nothing new, unusal, or exciting, just a decent and simple pic.
It turns out that I like it, and its probably the best pic I got today.
