This is an interesting capture I got from my hike on Ruby Beach. I took this just before the sun began to dip below the horizon. The sun was far too bright to photograph directly so I tried hiding the lens behind a driftwood log. I also managed to capture a rivulet streaming across the sand. I really didn't think this one would come out at all. However, I must say I sort of like the way it turned out. Had been a little more optimistic about the result I likely would have chosen a slightly different, and hopefully better, composition. It is, however, what it is. I was also quite surprised at how shallow the DOF turned out with an f-stop of f/16.
