Home At Last | Chincoteague Island, Virginia This was one of those “right place at the right time” kind of shots. My wife and I had just finished having dinner with my family at a nice downtown restaurant when I noticed that the shelf of thick clouds abruptly ended just above the horizon. With sunset minutes away, I knew that there was the possibility of some awesome light when the sun crept below the cloud line, but it would be brief. I convinced her to hurry back to my Jeep with me and we drove over to the docks facing the sunset. We arrived just in time to see the sun break below the clouds. Just as I started shooting, this commercial fishing boat came chugging along the bay. I was able to capture two or three shots of it before the sun sunk below the horizon and the boat sailed away. Sometimes the best thing for photography is a little luck and good timing (and a patient wife)! The Shot: Single exposure, tripod held, remote triggered. Nikon D90, 18-105mm VR Nikkor lens @ 42mm. Settings- f/9, ISO 200, 1/30 sec shutter.  Facebook | 500px | Google+ ©2011 Zach Frailey
