Long Beach - Los Alamitos Night Photography


The night started off with a random drive, not quite sure where we were headed. We found ourselves at the docks in Long Beach. Peaceful and calm... except for feeling paranoid of having the tripod fall into the water off the narrow dock... or my backpack smelling like barnacles... It was a unique challenge trying to avoid rocking the dock and making waves.

Little Carona Night Photography


There are many advantages to shooting the beach at night...no people in your shots...experimenting with the moving water...and no coyotes! This was shot a bit after 2am, the tide was coming back in from its lowest point. Once again my friend Mike came along as an awesome guide to the area and help with any "light painting" that was needed.  I will post more of the images from the night soon!
