hadn't lived in the area long when I found this nature reserve and was thrilled to see so many photo opportunities there. When I got home from work, I grabbed my camera and drove there with the intention of photographing the sunset. I wanted to relax and capture the beautiful view before me, and there was one of the most beautiful sunsets I had ever seen just waiting to be captured.

Lighting
The whole area seemed to be bathed in golden light, I wanted to capture that for more than just the visual, but the feeling of being surrounded by warm, beautiful light. I am always captivated by light and how it reflects on everything around it, it is the center of my attention when I take pictures. I loved the way the clouds and the beach reflected the light in such a way that it seemed almost celestial.

Equipment used a Nikon P500
