Description
Tonight's sunset at Iona Beach Regional Park, just next to the Vancouver International Airport, started off looking promising, but then a bank of heavier cloud came in a few minutes beforehand, standing out darkly on the horizon.
I therefore looked for photos where I wouldn't be looking directly into the sunset, and found this piece of driftwood interesting as the waves washed over it. Instead of facing west, I faced south, leaving the sunset to my right, and capturing the light on the side of the driftwood.
The water was moving quite quickly so a relatively short shutter speed was enough to capture the movement as it moved and swirled around the driftwood.
