But looking back I got this fantastic view of the sunlight from the setting sun streaming through the gap in the clouds with sheets of rain from the storm falling just inland from the coast. I once again turned to my Canon S100 to capture the scene. From the features on the ground, the aircraft would have been over or just south of Eisenhower, Lehigh Acres, Florida. You can make out the Gulf coast and the southern end of Estero Bay between the two sheets of rain in the center of the photo.
Taken from the lookout on the eastern part of the island, the ship is beached on the sandy isthmus that joins the two parts of the island. The water here was really shallow – the two people on the right of the image are actually sitting down at this point, not standing. The varying depths of the water and the light ripples of the breeze driven waves are refracting the sunlight to give the rainbow effect of this image.
Of course, I was in Brunei to look for (more) oil. This is a shot I took of a jackup drilling rig and supply boat at sunset one evening. I’m standing on the beach and my best guess is I used a 500mm for this shot.
