Today, I'm linking up with
Budget Travelers Sandbox to share phenomenal vacation photo tips. Perhaps my favorite "subject" (other than my crazy kids) is the sunset. Living on the east coast, sunsets don't happen over the ocean, though. I went to Hawaii once, excited for those photo ops -- who hasn't seen a picture of a glorious Hawaiian sunset. Alas, it rained and rained and rained... for five straight days. So, I bought some from a professional photographer and hung them in the front hall. One day, I will replace his photos with my own! (You can see my weather photos
here if you're curious what a rain-drenched Hawaii looks like!)
Without further ado, here's a beautiful California coast sunset.
These photos were taken with a simple iPhone 3G, nothing fancy.
Purple and orange against an indigo sea.
I like the colors, but the photo lacks definition.
I adjusted my position for a better shot.
For this shot, I knelt down behind a sand dune.
The grass and dune in the foreground offset the sunset
improving the overall effect.
Which photo do you like better?

Love it! The second shot is gorgeous! Perfect timing too - we are headed out for vacation in just a couple weeks! Thanks!
I took one of these photos this past weekend. Love a gorgeous sunset.
I love silhouettes at sunset. I took one last summer that won "People's Choice" and a blue ribbon.

I haven't really gotten it together for this year. Hmmmm. Perhaps I have to get my act together and go chase some sunsets!!!
Great pictures! I love sunset and sunrise pictures. I'm always chasing them and try and have my camera with me

Definitely like the second photo better -- well done. Beautiful sunset pic -- not easy to get good ones!
I love when the iPhone surprises me and takes amazing pictures! These are beautiful and definitely a relaxing moment of viewing in my otherwise hectic day. Thank you!
I love sunsets and both of these are beautiful photos but I prefer the second as well. The grass of the dunes adds to the photo and makes it that much more interesting!
I love the second one and am so impressed you got that shot with your iPhone! That is awesome!!
I run a Friday Travel Photo link-up called Friday Daydreamin' that I would love you to join us for with this post!
I really like your second shot - the grasses make the shot.
Definitely the second shot.
Beautiful! The one with the sand dunes in the front is perfect composition. Love the colors. Sorry about getting rained out in Hawaii. That's still on my travel wishlist and I guess I have to be careful when I go.
Love the photo with the grass in it.
I take a lot of great shots with my phone camera. I think it has better pixels than my regular camera and is easier to carry.
Those are beautiful photos! Love the last one!
wonderful shots! Its amazin how much just kneeling down a bit can be--love the blades of grass in the forfrount.
Both are wonderful!
But I guess I prefer the first - it just looks endless and can really wrap you up in the moment and take your mind other places.
