"The Burn" is every landscapes photographers hope at sunset. To get those few minutes of insane colors that burn across the sky. I have photographed the CA coasts for a few years and I have never seen a sunset like this. A few photographers I've talked to agreed, this may be the best sunset seen in the bay area in a while. The entire area lit pink to orange hues, like it bathed the whole coast with it. I've only witnessed this one other time at Joshua Tree.
I chose a very simple comp, as most of my coastal photographs involve a lot of water movement but the sky was the show piece.

Techy stuff: 1 shot for the sky, 2 shots to focus stack the land, 1 for the water. Manually blended in PS CC.
