Balanced Rock at Sunset

Image

The sun set was far darker than I show here. I thought this image would be a silhouette shot, but once I pushed the exposure, I was surprised at the detail in the rocks. I shot this at ISO 640, which was far too low. I probably could have pushed it to 3200 or 6400 and been ok. If you look closely, you can see artifacts of the work around the outline of Balanced Rock.

Here’s a map:

This map is inaccurate. The label is on the wrong formation. I’ve centered the map image on Balanced Rock. I’ll be submitting a bug report to Google. A few more of these and I’ll have to do a post about how Google is losing its supremacy in mapping. Kind of like the post I didn’t write called “Apple Maps: A Total Disaster” or “Apple Maps: Not What Steve Would Have Done”.

Anyway.

Affirmation: I will get through this. Alive.

    Re: affirmation – yes, you will.

    I know I’ve said this before, but I love it when you include maps.

    The balanced rock is gorgeous and I totally want to give it a shove, but the delicious, delicious part of this photo for me is the back right bit where it’s all purpley and creamy yellow. Yum.

    Lol, even as an Apple fan, I love the Apple Maps post titles…
