After capturing Golden Light, and with the sun nearly setting, I turned my attention back to the composition I had selected earlier. This is the rock formation I had mentioned in the previous blog post, and I actually found out through Google maps, that it’s called Panatahi Island.
I waited for the sun to break out from behind the clouds and snapped a few photos with the golden light blanketing the sandy beach. I love the backlight on the seaweed and was lucky enough to capture a small sunstar.
