LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION…

Recently I captured two sunset images from the same location.  Well, almost the same exact location.  It might seem as though I’m splitting hairs, but as you will see even in the same location one can achieve different perspectives.

Both images were shot from Heisler Park in Laguna Beach, California.  And, both images have made a recent appearance on this blog.  But, each image has its own particular perspective identity.

My first image was taken from the cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean.  It was high tide, and quite frankly this perspective made for a much easier capture.

 

My second image was captured from the beach, which is situated 30 – 40 feet below the cliffs.  It was low tide, and this perspective required navigation of several vertical stairways and then a brief walk up the sandy beach to the exact spot.

Realizing that each sunset is significantly different, I’m not asking you to necessarily share which sunset you prefer.  (Although, you may certainly do that.)  What I’m interested to know is which perspective you would choose, and why.  

Here’s the great thing: You don’t have to know everything about photography to share a comment.  In fact, you really don’t have to know anything about photography, to know which one you prefer.  So grab your mouse and click the comment button and share your thoughts!

Then when you’ve done that, check out my Steve Thomas Photography Facebook page and my Steve Thomas Photography website!  Or, you could click the link at the right and follow me on Twitter.  That way you can join me on many of my photo shoots as I update from each site!

Thanks for all your help!
