bwphotocontest ~ Sunset/Sunrise

This is my first entry for the bwphotocontest by Hive account@daveks, current theme: Sunset/Sunrise. Please see this post for details about the contest.

This is a tough one Dave! I checked a bunch of my sunset photos and they didn't look very good in black and white. I decided I would need some rays or sunbeams in there to establish the fact that it's a sunset.

With that plan in mind, I took a quick trip to Cannon Beach on the Oregon Coast. This is one of my favorite places because of the huge sea stacks. In this photo you see Haystack Rock and a few of the smaller stacks.

Nikon D7100, 1/125s f/16.0 ISO100 20mm

The other way to prove it's a sunset would be to show you the color version, so here it is! :)
