For anyone who was on my Facebook page at 8:30pm last night, here is the result of the sneak peak I posted there. I noticed some great clouds near 8pm and decided to drive up to the Neck and try for some shots at Castle Rock. Unfortunately, I just missed the best light there and was a bit upset at the wasted trip. As I drove up to Chandler Hovey, though, I saw a great sunset taking shape. I started shooting at Cove lane as the sun dipped beneath the clouds and then drove on to Parker Lane for this view.
I experimented with different shutter speeds but decided that the longer ones which calmed the water were my favorite. This was a 6 second exposure during which I prayed that the boats wouldn’t move from the slight waves in the water. I also had my polarizer on so the reflections became even more pronounced. If you’re wondering, there was very little done to this image in post-processing…it really was that incredible.
