Pier at Panama City Beach [Contest Finalists August 2011]
Uploaded: August 20, 2011 07:23:13
Taken about twenty minutes after sunset at Panama City Beach, Florida. This shot was a challenge because a strong breeze made it hard to keep the camera steady on my tripod and my lens kept fogging up in the salt air. The moon was actually in that position...I combined two exposures, one with a slower shutter speed for the scene, and one with a faster speed to capture the moon sharply and to avoid overexposing it.
Exif: F Number: 9, Exposure Bias Value: -1.33, ExposureTime: 10/40 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 200, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 18.00 mm, Model: NIKON D50

Hi Larry! Congrats! When I opened it up, I said to myself, that looks like the Pier at PCB! And yep it was. Another great place to take photos at sunset are under the Hathaway bridge. I have photos of it that make it look like stainless steel!! Fun and congrats again. From up the road a piece in SRB.Katarina Mansson August 29, 2011

OH MY GOSH! How did I miss this and why did you not tell me? Andlook at you with the Topaz filters! "The Wall" is a spectacular find and the angle is just right. I want to come to see you and park right in front. Please be sure to let me know when you win something, I am so slow getting to all of the photos that you must help me out.
