Cactus Caps

I really have a thing for the unusual image. I am a sinner big time when it comes to the "C" word (cropping) and this pair of images are an example of the extent of my cropping depravity. While I am not a bullseye shooter by any means, I often find the sweeter image in post production. In addition I lean towards the Darth Vader side of exposures as well, so the image 2 is a bit more to my liking because of the pepper tree in the background all ominous looking. The 1st image is more straight forward in exposure and color but as you can see it is cropped to show a completely different flow. Is this enough babbling to qualify for the test post, Wendy? LOL!

Fire Water

Several things have to be right to get a Fire Water shot. The surf has to be up, it has to hit a rock or something and you have to be low enough (without getting wet) to get the sunset angle low enough to illuminate the splash. Again I checked my Google Earth to find a North and South beach so the setting sun is at the proper location.

Sunsets do they ever get old
