While tagging along on Alan’s Oregon Coast photo workshop with Marc Adamus, I attempted to capture one of Marc’s signature shots. This sunset photograph from the rocky beach at Strawberry Hill says fireworks to me. Happy 4th of July.

Donna – this is really spectacular. It's hard to believe this isn't touched up. Is it?

Beth, I couldn't remember the editing process for this photo so I checked up on myself. The picture was edited through Picasa using the “saturation” and “sharpening” buttons, that's it. The effect of the colorful sunbursts comes from shooting at sunset with a slightly longer exposure. I was also using a hand held tripod.

Amazing photo! It doesn't look real but it makes me want to take the photo workshop for sure.
