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.

The Sun Sets
I've been toying with this image off and on for several months now. There were some things I wanted to modify, but I was unable to do it in a way that I liked. I think I finally solved that problem, but I am not so sure I'm finished working on this yet. Anyway, gonna throw it out there into the world for people to see just like this because I really like this one. I actually shot it in Seal Beach 24 DEC last year. And I fell on my butt while climbing down off these rocks.
Sunset Explosion
At the marine stadium in Long Beach.
Contrail and Palm Trees
Twilight in SoCal the other night.
Dusk on the Bay
If you ever come to Long Beach, and you look out over the bay from Bluff Park, you'll see these islands. They look nice. They're oil derricks.
June Gloom
Or July....
4th St Dusk
I was out for a walk about the time of the sunset the other day, and I didn't take my camera because it just looked uninteresting outside. I came around a corner and saw the sky kinda going off in a somewhat interesting compostion, so I hurried home and grabbed my camera. Unfortunately, it had already started dying off in just the couple of minutes it took me to make the round trip back to this spot. I did, however, end up with this capture, so it certainly wasn't a total washout.
New Prints
I just added these three new prints to the store page. All 3 are 8x10, matte finish, and printed on birch wood. They are offered here at approx 25% discount for a limited time. Please check'em out.
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.
In the City
I was wandering around downtown Long Beach again on a Sunday morning. This is one of things I saw.
