Snack Time

I was down at Huntington Beach California last January to enjoy the sunset! :) Huntington Beach is a very long flat beach with a very long pier. It's a popular spot for surfers as befits it's nickname, Surf City.

I had my camera on a tripod, using my remote release to trigger images as the waves came in. Out of the corner of my eye I saw this seagull swoop in and land. The water was receded when it landed. As the water came in, so did the snacks. :)

Ben did another awesome job on this, and I do appreciate his help so much. One behind the scenes story I will mention, is that when Ben sent me this processed image, he shared with me a little aspect on how he processed this one. And what's so cool, is without my even saying anything to Ben ahead of time, his one technique is exactly what I would have done too. It's really awesome to have someone helping out who thinks almost exactly like I do, as dangerous as that may seem. :)

This is very well processed. Love the dreamy look on the pier and the tones.
The dreamy look was natural as there must have been a lot of moisture being pushed up into the air at the end of the pier. I noticed it even more when shooting from the south side of the pier.

Thanks!
