Santa Monica Pier at nite

I found myself in Santa Monica the other nite having dinner with an old friend. I brought my Canon 5D and a tripod thinking "maybe, just maybe after dinner I'll take a few nite shots" I've been thinking about nite shots since looking at Julia Deans's class roster and wanting to take the cool nite class offered tonite of all times. But can't take the class-got other stuff.

Decided to hit the pier and see what or who was there. Quite a few fisherman, one angry man, a worker who didn't like my tripod (too bad), couples kissing, gangs, tourists--you get the idea.

The picture was facing north and set on aperture priority at f11 about 10 sec exposure. Little fussing in lightroom and PS3.

Very nice picture!
I work for the management company of Broughton Hospitality.
Broughton Hospitality offers a family of boutique hotels whose design and ambience celebrates the uniqueness of their cultures and locales throughout California, Chicago, and in Ubud Bali, Indonesia.
One of our hotels is located in Santa Monica near the pier - The Georgian Hotel. It is one of my favorites. Have you had the chance to stay at The Georgian?

Hi and thanks for your comment

I've never personally stayed but my friends from MI always stay at the Georgian and love it!
So I've been there quite a few times and it is lovely indeed.

How did you find my blog?
