beach

I went to Venice Beach in California last Sunday, mainly to see a few unusual people and do some Street Photography. But fortunately for me, the partly cloudy forecast held and I got some really sweet sunset photography in too. I don't get to Venice Beach very often as it's an hour drive or more...

Hey guys! Merry Christmas to everyone! Got an FB reminder to post, lol Here is one from last weekend's session with @Levy Davish, we went for the sunrise at Jaffa port, which apparently required some serious wall jumping and illegal walking on the peer, which is totally fine with me, but since...

Last Sunday as I was shooting the Elephant Seals it was about 45 mins before sunset and there was some cool clouds and a potential for a good sunset. I knew that the Elephant Seals would be too dark along the sand to make a good foreground subject and there wasn't a lot of cool rocks at the...

While shooting the Elephant Seals on Sunday north of San Simeon I noticed that while the seals were lounging up on the beach that the birds were hanging out down at the waters edge. So I stopped from the shooting the seals a few minutes to capture the birds. I meant to put this in for Winged...

I shot this tonight just prior to sunset at Pismo Beach California. I liked how the clouds formed an almost twister type shape. All comments are welcome, Jim

My wife and I made it out to the Olympic Beaches for 3 days last week. This first post is from our 2nd day when we walked up Rialto Beach. Ellen Creek was flowing fast from recent rains so I had to cross a tricky log jam that my wife and friends declined. Only a few fellow dare devils got past...

Our Focus this Friday is on the Beach! So please add your Beach photos to this thread. I will start with some from Victoria Beach in Laguna Beach California. Jim

This is from a Sea Cave up in Pismo Beach that I shot from 2 weeks ago. There was a heavy marine layer, and I shot this with no people walking by and then a few with people walking by since I wasn't sure there would be enough background interest with the gray foggy skies. And when I went to...

In the previous thread I replayed to Alan (great photo IMHO) about taking a photo at midday light but I myself lost again and surrendered to that magic light yesterday at my hometown beach. To be honest I was so happy to be there after a while. C&C are welcome as always.

I ran down to La Jolla on Sunday night just for the sunset. The sunset wasn't as nice as I thought it might be from the forecast, but still ended up with some really cool shapes in the clouds. I started processing this in Color and wasn't really happy with it, so I converted it to B&W which...

This is a more typical shot from Huntington Beach. This is from a week or so ago, there was some really nice waves coming in. All comments are welcome, Jim

A few weeks ago from down at Huntington Beach California. I was focusing on the waves, but the oil rigs kept getting in the way. One nice thing when there is limited visibility is that the rigs tend to disappear on the horizon. And they can be avoided for the most part with careful composing...

The Focus this Friday is on Waves! What comes to mind is Waves at the ocean, but I know some lakes can get Waves. A big Plus to anyone who comes up with a non Ocean Wave. I will start with a few of mine, Jim

I was at the left side of the beach and @lionking was at the right side (probably) or may I say the wrong one? Well, The proof now is on him because we took photos 100 m from each other but never met up :) I hope Andrey you did as good as I had. C&C will be appreciated

I was at Huntington Beach in California on Tuesday evening and there was a nice spattering of clouds in the sky as sunset approached. But behind the clouds I saw these other cyan colored thin clouds. I am thinking that they are the left over from a rocket launch. That does happen on a regular...

It was really overcast late yesterday at Huntington Beach, the bland gray clouds that we normally get in SoCal filled the sky. But as I went to run I threw the Sony A6400 with the 18-135mm over my shoulder just in case. I didn't get too far in my running before the clouds started to open up...

South Carolina shore.

This was last night at the Huntington Beach Pier. I almost wasn't able to get in there to run since there was some kind of car show at the large main parking lot and the place was packed. I was able to find parking fortunately closer to the pier since it was almost sunset and people were...

This is back from a couple of weeks ago at Little Corona Beach in SoCal. The wind was pretty windy that evening and it was blowing the tide surges even more then normal it seemed. In this one, I may have had to wipe off water drops from the lens after it was done. :rolleyes: All comments are...
