"Nighttime Coaster Ride" Photo of the Day: August 29, 2015

This famous roller coaster is located on the Santa Monica Pier in Santa Monica, California. In order to get this shot I had to wade out into the surf to get the angle that I wanted and would wait for the coaster to come by. Being battered by the waves was not very pleasant!

Photo of the Day: July 23, 2015 "Foggy Flight"

Here is an excerpt out of my professional portfolio website. This is one of my most viewed images on the site and was taken eight years ago. 

"One early morning in Santa Monica, California I was shooting macros and portraits along the beach. Because of the intense fog I was not intending to shoot any long-distance photos but eventually slapped on my telephoto lens and shot the Santa Monica Pier with the foothills in the background. I would get lucky, as the three birds rode an air current, perfectly placing them within the frame."
