Photo of the Day

Red Sky at Night

Capturing this long exposure of a sunset behind the Golden Gate Bridge was a calculated adventure. Your Shot photographer Benjamin Stein had to wait for the perfect tide and the perfect sunset. In addition to patience, it required "standing on the side of a large rock, with water up to your knees and seals swimming around looking at you," Stein says. This photo was submitted to Your Shot, our photo community on Instagram.
