At the marine stadium in Long Beach.

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.
Contrail and Palm Trees
Twilight in SoCal the other night.
Looong Shadows
Golden hour at the beach recently. No clouds but some great shadow across the sand.
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....
MQQN
It was supposed to be a "Strawberry Moon" last night. The moon was full and bright, but it was never red here. Moments after this, in fact, clouds covered up the moon.
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.
