This photo is a 'short' time exposure, showing the range of images that this digital camera can capture. Its a portion of Rockaway Bay, on the California coast near Pacifica, about an hour after sunset. We'd just finished dinner in a nearby restaurant and walked down to the end of the short street. The camera was placed on a large rock on the beach, and several exposures made, using different exposure-times. This one happened to include blurred water along the beach and well-formed waves in the distance.
