Photo of the Day - June 16

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Otis Redding couldn’t have got it wrong when he wrote the lyrics to that amazing song. Truly there is something special about spending time out on that dock just looking into the horizon and watching the sunset.

Today we decided to do some ‘After Sunset’ photography. A good tip to capturing beautiful tones of the sky is to wait about 20 minutes after sunset. That’s when the best colors of the sky can be captured with a properly timed exposure. Once the harsh lights of the sun have settled and all you are left with is the soft after-lights. Before the darkness of the sky settles in, take in as much pics as you like, you are going to really love the effects. 

For the above snap, I set the Shutter @ a good long 30seconds to take in as much as the lights as possible. The Aperture was set  to F16 and clicked, obviously using a tripod. 

The snap came out better than I expected, so here it is, my Photo of the Day!

Keep Snapping
