Cape Kiwanda

A beautiful sunset at Cape Kiwanda, Pacific City, Oregon.

This was taken from the balcony in our hotel room at The Inn at Cape Kiwanda, which is one of the best places to stay on the Oregon coast. Not the most interesting story for a photo I know, but thats how it happened! It is amazing to step out on the balcony and watch a fantastic sunset like this.

Here's a quick tip to make your sunset pictures pop. Under expose your sunset pictures by up to about one stop. For your standard point-n-shoot this is that +/- button or option and you want it set between -0.3 and -1.0 or so. This will make those sunset colors pop and make the silhouettes darker. Like all things relating to photography, for the best results, play around with it until you find something you like and then do that!
