Dinner at Sunset
Restaurants, Santa Monica Pier, CaliforniaI have a bit of a schizophrenic style of shooting pictures. Here is a good example of this. I got to Santa Monica Pier around 6:15 and was feeling weak from hunger. I walked up and down the pier twice shooting photos while looking to grab a bite before sunset at 7 p.m. By the time I got my burrito at the food stand on the bottom left corner of this picture, the sun was getting close to the horizon. I finished eating within ten minutes and ran back to my car (passing it twice because I forgot where it was) to grab a tripod. Then made it back up to the pier in time to get my sunset pictures right as the sun was setting.

What ever it takes,
you always nail it.
AND thank you for the tip about night shooting in your "comment".
Perfect follow-up image to illustrate! Twilight is magical.

Thanks Teri.
You do quite well under pressure Richard! Nice shot.
Thanks Sherri. I don't know if I'd consider that to be pressure but it definitely was an adrenaline rush.
Hmm-I'd prefer if the the scene wasn't cut off at the bottom left but I can understand you wer shaky from hunger and panic-:-)
Thanks Leann. My lens wasn't wide enough to avoid doing that.
I chalk such events up to serendipity. Sometimes not planning or the random aspects of being in the right place at the right time defy explanation. Hopefully the experience wasn't too frustrating. I'd have never of known looking at this photo. The color in the sky is beautiful and this is a great "aerial" view of the pier area.
