Sunset Photos of The Pacific Coast

This is actually my first shooting of sunsets, ever. I seldom stay up late enough to even take one. I kept only two that I liked out of dozens. Here they are.

Cannon Beach, OR - Haystack Rock



Garabaldi, OR - Sea Rocks

Nice photos. Love the second one.

Thanks for looking & for your comments. The 2nd photo was taken about an hour before the beach scene. Since I can't be in two places at once I stopped to photograph the Garabaldi Rocks in time to make it to the 2nd location. I too like the Garabaldi shot. I've been at this same location before but not with the "Golden Hour" quality light. I was fortunate for the clear skies although it would have been nice to have some passing skies. I'll remember to order up some for any subsequent visits.

Gorgeous Bob! Looks like an amazing place to live... very tempting!

Great pics!

My vote is for the first, but then again, I am very partial to sunrise or sunset photos (actually greatest preference is with the sun just below the horizon).

Just below the horizon is great if I had a more spectacular sky but in this case I wanted to maintain some detail in Haystack Rock that I would have lost had the sun dropped too low. Also I liked the reflection of the sun streaking in the water. Thanks for looking & for your comments.

Both great shots as usual - but I prefer the first one.

This is a shot I took last year with a D3100 of Mumbles Head from Swansea Bay near the city centre
