As Sunset Dawns in Okinawa

Uploaded: June 18, 2011

Description

This photo was taken as I waited for the sun to set behind the Zampamisaki Lighthouse in Yomitan Okinawa, Japan 18 JUN 2011 6:56PM. The lighting wasn't right yet, for the lighthouse shot I wanted but, the fisherman was in a great position for a shilouette composition. Tripod and cable release were used with a Pentax K5 and Pentax 18-250 lens at a focal length of 29mm. Contest Category:Travel and Place

Beautiful work Michael. I am intrigued by the oxymoron title. #1386372

Michelle,
Thank you. I come from a long line of oxymorons, I guess. Wait'll you see which sunset shot I decide to post out of the 40 some I took that night ! #9469736
