After a long day of photography that began at the tide pools at Montana de Oro State Park, our photography group found ourselves at sunset at Morro Bay. For a photographer, sunset can come in too much of a rush, or the location is wrong, or it's the wrong time of year and the sun drops below the horizon too far to the north or south. But not this night. The sun made a lazy descent into the fog bank beyond the sand spit that forms the western edge of the bay, and we were ready with our cameras. I made many photographs, and I tried a variety of exposures, mostly by pointing my camera at different areas in the scene, locking in the exposure each time. For this photo, I pointed the camera at the sun and underexposed by 2/3 of a stop. Lesson: don't put the camera away until it's dark.
