"Sunset Beach"

Photo courtesy of R. Robinson.              (Click on the photo for a larger view) Sunset is a magical time when the cares of the world seem to fade away right along with the sun. There is nothing like a stroll on a deserted beach when the last light of the day is shimmering on the water and the horizon takes on a glow that resembles a brightly glowing ember. Today's picture captured the magic of the moment that these two friends surely must have enjoyed as they took an evening walk along the edge of the gently rolling surf. Moments like this are fleeting, but thanks to the wonders of photography we can enjoy this one for a long, long time. The camera and settings used to capture this image: Camera: Canon Powershot SD200 Focal length: 17mm Shutter speed: 1/80 second Aperture: f/4.9 ISO: 200   Visitor Comments...
