Sunset at Chimney Bluffs: A Photo 10 Years in the Making

[Destin]

Hey there! I've been trying to capture landscape photos at Chimney Bluffs for over ten years now, and other than a few drone photos through the years, I've never come away with anything I was actually happy with. That changed last night when conditions and my creativity aligned and allowed me to capture the image below using my X-T3 + 10-24. I would have taken this with my new X-H2, but I was using that to film a YouTube video of the experience, which I'll link at the bottom of this post.

Happy to answer any questions, and open to C&C as always.

I’ve never been much of a fisherman, but I imagine I’d enjoy it for much the same reasons as I do photography - ultimately it’s just an excuse to sit out in nature and relax.

I used to love fishing, not anymore i can't kill things these days. Not even catch and release because im still hurting the fish, it plays on my mind now.

Caught 2 under size fish the other week and they both swallowed the hook, that really turned me off fishing for that day so i went walkabout the town with the camera instead for the rest of the day.

Pied Cormorant,

The area is covered in murals so I've been getting shots of'em when im there exploring.
