Marina Twilight

I was simply scouting this location for a decent sunset shot, and this happened. It has been the norm this spring and summer when I've been simply scouting that I've lucked into some good conditions, and fortunately I was able to photograph it.

Burst

I was hanging out by the marine stadium the other night shooting in the other direction trying to garner a decent sunset capture, and I saw this composition shaping up for a decent attempt at a long exposure. So, I waited for it darken a bit before I shot it. Turned out fairly decent.

Blue Golden Hour

Obviously, it's still the "golden hour" even though it certainly has a gloomy, blue caste. And I didn't manipulate the colors to make it so. It was a pretty dingy looking night anyway. I found this trail on the north side of Signal Hill Park. I didn't even know this spot was there. I was simply doing a little scouting/exploration, chasing the sunset due to the funky clouds--a seeming rarity this time of year here in SoCal. The clouds kinda congealed, but that small break at the horizon allowed me to get a somewhat interesting sunset out of this. The sky never lit up after this, so I packed up my gear and went home. I will have to try this place again, though.
