The perfect rays of the setting sun reflect off gentle waves as they break on Florida’s Gulf Coast while a small boat looks on.
Details: This scene was captured on the beaches of Florida’s Ana Maria Island near Bradenton. While I love to take photos directly into the sun, I have seldom captured rays as perfect as these. No special filters were used, just a wide-angle lens and small aperture. The toughest part was keeping the tripod from sinking into the soft sand as the waves swirled underneath.
