Caption: This photo was inspired by the smoke in July from the California fires. Even out on Pierce Pt., in the Pt. Reyes National Seashore, with a moderate Pacific breeze the sky is smoky and the sunset is red. I created this image using three photos that were exposure bracketed 2 f stops apart and shot raw. The post processing was done as an HDR image using Photomatix Pro. The camera was on a tripod.
