    Damn Im in awe another brilliant sunset shot. The boat is just in the right spot as well. Your patience has paid off again.

  • Nick Hunt replied

    Thanks, actually patience wasnt the issue here, sitting on a beach with that view going snap every 5 seconds to get the right one…!
    Plan to get a canvas print of this one, others have helped me recognise its beauty!

    what lens and camera settings did you use for this?

  • Nick Hunt replied

    Thanks, nothing special, I used a Canon EOS400D with automatic settings and the 75-300 zoom lens…. would love to say I mastered the camera’s capabilities with manual control, but alas, the auto settings generally work well for me.
    I used to use a Fujifilm 500 which I think gave better colour on the zoom for sunsets…. play and enjoy.
