Low tide at dusk
The most spectacular sunset colors are typically when the sun is no longer visible and below the horizon, afterglow in the twilight zone.
This rocky outcrop is actually a temple on a little island normally surrounded by the sea. The rocky seabed is however exposed at low-tide as per this image.
Was searching for an angle to frame the sacred island when I noticed how the little tide pools on a section of the exposed rocky seafloor shone like mirrors against the spectacular but fleeting light at dusk.
Quite happy with the composition with the little tide pools as foreground interest with the temple against the quality of the evening light.
Meanwhile Samyang has just announced their new AF 135mm f1.8 FE prime lens at a reasonable 772g and $999, this should be very interesting especially for those like me who like such a lens but don't use it often enough to justify or need the Sony 135mm f1.8 GM. The Batis 135mm is an entire stop slower at f2.8 and doubled the price, yikes! I really like my older Samyang manual focus 135mm f2.0 originally designed for DSLR, this is widely regarded as one of Samyang's best lens and a real steal for the money. The new Samyang AF 135mm f1.8 also has 11 aperture blades compared to just 9 in the older version.
