Front Row Seat to Glory

Posted by MontereyJohn (Salinas, California, United States) on 28 December 2007 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

We are just coming off a California "storm," i.e. it rained. Back in Missouri we would have called it a spring shower. Be that as it may, it is warm and the sky is looking beautifully crisp, so I'll head on over to Pacific Grove to try to capture a sunset. This time of year they tend to be spectacular assuming the fog stays away.

I played with this image a bit, mostly to resize it 8x10 aspect ratio. As much as I like the "widescreen" look of the 35mm format, it is a pain when making prints to statndard sizes. I frequently end up losing something I don't want to lose in the cropping. This one worked out alright.
