Default Sunset Proposal
OK, I finally proposed to my sweetie. I lured her to the beach under the guise of getting some romantic sunset shots of her and I.

I didn't actually take the shot, but I planned the shot, set the camera, did some test shots, and gave some instructions to my roommate who is the one who actually took the shot. Thanks Monica!!

This is the first time that a shot that I envisioned actually turned out as I wanted it to. And I'm happy it was this moment that it happened.

Rosa said "yes" and it was a wonderful moment for us. :-) Thought I'd share.

Oh, and I edited on my loaner monitor as my main one is in the shop. Not sure if it turned out too dark or not.

Proposing to Rosa
