I was playing around with some more images I captured Monday over by the marine stadium here in Long Beach. Here's a dark, moody one.

Blue Hour At The Marine Stadium
Here's another blue hour shot. This time from last night, at the Naples end of the Marine Stadium. There were some semi-interesting clouds hanging about late enough in the afternoon, so I decided to chase the sunset after missing what appeared to be a major burner the previous evening. I found this spot with the bridge, and it wasn't fantastic as the sky never really lit up, but it certainly wasn't a dud, either, like the last time I went chasing the sunset. It happens. You gotta take what Mother Nature gives you when you're doing this kind of thing.
Turn the light off when you leave
I caught this during the blue hour in DTLB a while back.
Shoot
I was in the right place at the right time for this one. For shooting the picture, I mean. The espresso shot was good, too.
Soaring
I found this old capture of the PO building in DTLB. This place just keeps on giving. I have several excellent photos of this building, but I still think this one is the best. I caught the seagull at the exact right time to capture not only the bird flying through the frame, but I got its shadow on the building, AND its reflection in one of the windows. The clouds made for some nice interest and contrast, as well.
I happen to have a sweet metal print of this available for purchase directly from me, too.
Semi-fiery sky
The clouds lookded kinda interesting around sunset yesterday, and since I had not done so in a while, I strolled over to Bluff Park to check out if I might get a decent capture, even though I've pretty much overdone that spot. But...it's the only decent spot like this I can walk to, so I've spent an inordinate amount of time there, photographically speaking. It might be impossible to spend too much time here otherwise. It is an incredible spot.
Anyway, the sky never really went off, so I certainly didn't get a stunner of a sunset, but I got a decent pic anyway.

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.
#californiawinter
While it seems we have moved into an early arrival of June Gloom here in SoCal, this is an image I captured demonstrating the sheer savagery of the California winter. As you can see, it was raining hard this day. Maybe. Kinda. Well...sorta...
