Sony DSCHX9V ISO 100 F 3.3 w/ -.7 ev at 1/40th sec. A very simple compact Sony camera was used to take this picture in the summer evening hours in Palm Springs, Calif. This type of blazing sunset picture is rare and is determined by a costal situation when there are no clouds off the Pacific ocean coast and a few clouds hugging the top of the 10,000 ft. San Jacinto Mountain looking down onto Palm Springs.
