eastside sunset

It was a nice, sunny summer evening...

No matter how many sunsets I have witnessed, they continue to awe and inspire me. This set of pictures are from a trip to Newcastle & Coulon Beaches in mid-August.

First, here are some nice summer scenes...






The ducks at Coulon were beautiful in the sunset...


I remembered an image that Art Wolfe has of some dancers. In one of his videos, he explains that he wanted to capture the movement of the dancers, so he used a long exposure. The image is beautiful. Of course, it is Art Wolfe! I wondered if the gentle motion of the floating ducks would work to create a similar image...



not quite



oh gosh no...



And this one... this one I like!



And here are a few more classic summer shots...






Even though sunset lights are enchanting, I wondered how the image of the couple would look in black & white... ahh, even better!

Thanks for checking out the pics. Hope that you are having a beautiful day, wherever you are.
Peace, lor
