Default Surf City Twilight

I went out this evening and took a few M8 shots in nearby Huntington Beach. I didn't want to do the usual tourist type shots (not that there is anything wrong with that) with nicely saturated colors so I took off some of the saturation to give them something of a dreamlike quality, as if stepping back in time, or beyond time. Any way, here's what I came up with.

Chers,
Wilfredo

Wilfredo -

Usually I like night shots to wow me with their colors. Your series does that without the colors. Excellent compositions, andgles and details.

Wilfredo,

nicely done - I like the star-bursts on the second shot.

Staurt, John and Graeme, Thank you.

Graeme:

For the first two shots I used f/16. The first shot was set to ISO 320. The other two shots were at ISO 160. I believe I had the lens set at f/8 for the third shot. I used a tripod for all three. BTW, Huntington Beach is known as Surf City USA, where annual surfing competitions takes place.

Cheers,
Wilfredo

Superb. My favorites are between the No 1 and No 2. Difficult to make a choice.
