Georgetown Sunset

Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to hop aboard one of the Potomac Riverkeeper boats and take a short evening cruise up to the Georgetown waterfront. As we dropped anchor near the Key Bridge, we were treated to a glorious sunset.

Thank you, it built up pretty quickly and lasted a total of about 15-20 minutes overall. We were lucky to be in position just as it began.

Thanks, Laura. I appreciate your comment. I don’t know what I would do without the histogram on the LCD display and the range one gets with RAW.

  You’re welcome! I totally agree. I even like my sony best for the histogram because i can see it inside the viewfinder. Genius!
