I spent Easter sunday with some family on Coronado Island in San Diego, CA and we walked to the beach to watch the sunset. The clouds were rolling in as a rain storm approached and it made for quite a dramatic image. The sunset looked promising but the clouds did not light up with color as we hoped. I used a Schneider 50mm tilt shift lens and shifted left then right for the 2 image pano. I tilted about 2 degrees to get the waves as well as the ship sailing past the island in the background all in focus. It was a fun Easter and suprising to see a storm come in after the beautiful day here in San DIego.
