Last Light in Brookings

[AlanLichty]

This is the last shot of the day at South Beach in Harris Beach State Park near Brookings. I have posted some shots from earlier in the evening for this particular sunset but this was the last one before I packed up and climbed up from the beach. My camera was picking up more light than could be seen with the naked eye by the time I shot this but happily that is when some of the best colors come out. This shot was my favorite of the bunch.

I can see why this would be a favorite Alan. That’s some great color you captured.

 

[Guy Schmickle]

Absolutely gorgeous color and reflected light. Love it.

Great color. The low tide opens up so much opportunity for compositions.

 

[Ben Egbert]

A colorful one indeed.

Great color. The low tide opens up so much opportunity for compositions.

This was a super moon low tide so the water levels were way below normal. Should get the same conditions next week with a super moon and low tide at sunset.

That is some great late post sunset colour. People watching a sunset just don't understand why photographers hang around so long after the sun has gone. Looks a nice beach. I don't know it even though I've been to Bandon (which I believe is nearby) so many times.

That's a nice shot Alan. It evokes a very peaceful emotion for me. I like the way the faint cloud line in background curves up to meet the big rocks on the right. Nice tonal qualities too.

That's also why we have to carry flashlights to find the trail to leave Brookings is about 6 miles north of the California border.
