    Excellent shots Speed. I like your part of the world. You've reminded me of an evening I sat nearby to watch (and shoot) the sunset.

    Thanks Chunk.

    I'm glad you liked it. I remember your shot from Down East. Davis? Stacy? Somewhere down there. Sunrise and sunsets are easier when you've got great scenery to go with them.

    Cool. I especially like the first one with that wide-angle feel. What kind of lens did you use?

    Hey Lava Lamp,

    I shot both of these with the Coolpix 5700. The first one was with the lens at it's widest setting (35mm) and the second one was shot zoomed all the way out (280mm).

    I like the first one because you can see the range of colors (due to the wide angle of the shot) from red on the horizon to blue sky at the top of the frame. I thought it was a neat effect.

    Thanks for the comments my friend, and I'm glad you liked them.

    I like the first one also, the color is amazing. One of the nicest I've seen in quite a while. Great eye!

    Great shots, speed. I like the first one the most as well. Looks like I may have to make a trip there some day for some good shots like this.

    In real estate, it's all Location, Location, Location.

    In photography, location makes a big difference. Though things like exposure also come into play. ;-)

    I am fortunate to live on the coast, and on days like the one when I took this, I count my blessings.

    Thanks for the comments buddy! And if you ever get down this way, drop me a line so we can get together.
