Fleeting: There's something about the sun's last light that moves me. As I stood there with sand between my toes on the beach at Corona Del Mar, framing this shot, I was so captivated by the beauty before me I forgot to take the shot. I just stared into the sun for a minute or two. After I snapped out of it, I grabbed this shot. More from the same beach here and also here.
This photo was taken in Corona del Mar, California.

Da Nator said: Gorgeous capture! I love the crispness of the foreground rock against the softness of the moving ocean. With all the light gradations, it's hard to believe this isn't an HDR... from the (2for2) group

fetopher said: Thanks all for the kind words. To be clear, this isn't an HDR image in the sense you're likely thinking, but it does have higher dynamic range than my D200 could capture without some post-processing. I duplicated the layer and screened it in the foreground, thus re-creating light bouncing off the foreground rock. I believe I set the screened layer to around 30% opacity, so it didn't require much. So yes, it does have high dynamic range, but no, it's nothing like common HDR shots.
