Dewey Beach in the twilight of an October dawn

Aimee and Bootsy

A friend of mine walking the greyhound of a mutual friend of ours paused a few moments to take in the dawn twilight at Dewey Beach this past October.

I'm a sucker for the rich blueness of twilight that happens about 35 minutes or so before sunrise and after sunset.

(Shot with the Nikon D300 using the 18-200mm zoom set at 18mm; program mode chose 1/15 sec @ f/3.5; ISO 800; auto white balance; normal JPG.)

  1. What a lovely, serene photo. Is the whole curved effect from the horizon up a natural phenomenon?

    I like your new, lighter blog design:)

  2. Wonderful picture.
    I love sunsets at the beach, but haven't managed a decent dog shot yet.

  3. @Greyhounds CAN Sit: no, it's called "i'm-too-bloody-lazy-to-apply-a-lens-profile-to-correct-lens-distortion". :P the image is straight out of the camera -- i've not tampered with it in any way.

  5. I absolutely love the pictures we've gotten on the beach at Dewey every year. There's just something magical about it! I agree with you about the light there at sunset, too. (I am too lazy to know about the light there before sunrise!) It was like something painted the sky there. I just love that shot you got!
