This is an alternate take from my previously posted bridge shot. This one just 5 minutes after the big orange blast, but still worthy of mention.
Rob and I arrived early this morning in Rio Vista, and by first twilight, it was clear we were going to be in for a treat. We scouted several Rio Vista waterfront compositions and finally decided to get down on the rocks as the tide was beginning to recede. I've been seeing many skunks in the early hours, live and otherwise, and as I started down the loose rip rap, a familiar black and white furry thing was scurrying to get out of my path. Luckily it was one of dozens of feral cats that live along this waterfront.
Mister golden sun arrived as predicted, and the sky burn commenced. I went with a 9-stop ND filter to smooth the water and burn in a little extra water reflection.
A good time was had by all.
