Dang, General, one MORE thing we have in common... I'm a 4th-generation native San Diegan, I emigrated to the Cape a handful of years ago. Whereabouts you from? I used to hang out at UCSC all the time, way back in the day, also. If you're anywhere near as old as me, maybe we ran into each other? jejeje�

I was there Fall/70 to Spring/72 -- spent almost all my time at what was then College V (now Porter College), and most of that in the dining hall, or at the ping-pong or pool tables.
I probably learned more useful information from the guy who managed the food service as any three professors put together, and my dorm Residence Assistant -- a fellow named 'Erick Ivanhoe (yes, with an apostrophe) -- probably surpassed that for demonstrating uncompromising practicality. Maybe my most famous acquaintence there was David Arora, who went on to publish several books on wild mushrooms.
I keep meaning to go back there someday ... |

| Uh, I can hide these diversionary posts once they're read, if desired. |

:D Good read guys! WHY DO YOU PEOPLE ALWAYS POST IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT? heheee
I really appreciate all the help with this type of shot guys. Swear I've tried it for years and though "hell, how hard can it be, find the scene... shoot" but..... well you know....
anyway, there are some great tips here, I think my next day off (which happens to be Monday SINCE I"M ON VACATION!!!) I will shoot some more at the same location :)

Cindi, like any other kinda shot, a sunset without some kinda subject is just a sunset... Here's my best two.

I'm trying to learn as much about this pretty quick as I plan on taking one soon, but I want to learn a little before I try. So is the general idea to meter for a little bit to the side of the sun?

These are lovely! Really beautiful. I too notice that a sunset shot - or any shot for that matter needs to be composed with a strong composition. A pic of a waterfall is just a waterfall, but set the scene with some foreground, middleground and waterfall and it becomes something else entirely.
