Another in a series of photographs taken during a holiday to the western USA during September 2001, using the Minolta Dimage 7 camera.

I have included the EXIF data for all the photos. Simply hover the mouse over the "EXIF data" links and a smaller window will pop up. To close the window, move the mouse away from the link.

Cropping, size reduction and/or very minor adjustments were done with Adobe Photoshop 6. Photos compressed generally at around 45% to optimise download time.

La Jolla - sunset La Jolla - sunset La Jolla - sunset
Watching the sun setting over the Pacific from Pallisades Park in La Jolla is always a wonderful spectacle for me. There is no retouching of the colours in the first photo. The other two photos are both handheld, although for the RH of the two, the camera was braced again another plam tree in an effort to cope with long exposure time.
