Description
A little over a twelve-hour dayHe was ready to go home
Sol stretched his arms, his colors
Touching the corners of the sky
"Your turn," he said
And left the sea to the Watchtower.
Long Beach, California.

I second ShadowSweeper - there's a lot of luck and "oh damn happy accident" involved.
the silhouettes of the land and palm trees makes for a nice composition - all the details are in the sky and water, where the color is.

Then there seem to be a lot of 'lucky' photographers out there.

And can you believe people get paid to do it? Best job ever, to wander around and get paid for happy accidents.

I like to think I'm interested in all sorts of art, but yes, photography's one of those secret crafts I don't think I'll ever develop a genuine knack for. I have good shots, like these, but I look at some of the photographers on DA and I'm blown away! Mah... but yes, sometimes, you just have to be in the right place at the right time - for instance, in Long Beach at sunset. xD

I see. I sorta agree with you. It usually depends on what kind of photography you're going for. A lot of times you can make your own moments and capture them with great tools of the trade. Then you really know what you're doing.

Ah yes, this is true... you want to know the sad part? I... have no idea what I'm doing. I must've taken a hundred shots on that day, and these were the only two of any real worth- except for my own personal one, you know? I have loads of photos of me goofing off with my friends. XD

Ha. Don't worry. No one really knows what they're doing.
