Beach Blue Hour Pano

USA : SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA

I shot this from the Santa Monica Pier. The tourist infested Santa Monica Pier. I remembered why I so rarely went there. This shot made it worthwhile, though.

Mølen

SoCal Cove

Here’s another one I found on an old phone. Such a killer spot.

LB Bluff Sunset

On this eve a while back I was chasing the sunset a bit, but I didn’t want to wander too far from home, so I ended up at Bluff Park (again). I really thought it was a bust, but I just found this photo which I was able to turn into something a little worthwhile. Hope you dig it.

Looong Shadows

Golden hour at the beach recently. No clouds but some great shadow across the sand.

Floating cargo

Spring has apparently sprung here in LB, but here is a quick flashback to one of our brutal winter days in February. Notice the couple toughing it out at the edge of the ocean whilst the container vessels line up awaiting entry into the LA/LB port.

Posing at the Pier

This seagull maintained an absolutely static pose for me on the San Clemente pier.

Rare SoCal Clouds

Sometimes getting cool shots with clouds in the sky around is tough. A side effect of the fantastic weather in coastal SoCal is the normal clear sky. Yeah, it's rough. But...if you wanna get cool sky photos, it's nice to have some interesting clouds now and then. Well, this morning was one of those times. I was strolling back home from getting my morning shot of espresso, and I saw some crazy clouds hanging in the sky, and the way the sunlight was getting knocked around by those clouds was super interesting. So, as soon as I got home I grabbed my camera bag and headed for the beach close to where I live. I got there in time to get some pretty good captures. Hope you like them.
