The following photos were taken around the coast of Los Angeles, mostly in Santa Monica and Manhattan Beach.
The shot directly below, was taken in Santa Monica, where a memorial is setup each weekend to show the human cost of war. The red crosses represent 10 soldiers each.
On our last night in LA, we went to Manhattan Beach, where the Pier makes for an amazing subject. We arrived shortly before sunset, and stayed well past the point when the sun had fallen beyond the horizon. Everyone always asks, "How do you get those vivid sunset images?", well the secret is, "Stay past the actual sun setting - the bending of the sun's rays over the horizon is what makes the vivid colors in the sky." There were many people along the beach and the pier when I started this evening, but by the time I had shot the last image below, there were less than five of us still on the beach.
The image below is a much longer exposure than the one above, notice how the reflection of the lamp posts changes as the exposure time increases.
