Magic Hour

padu · October 13, 2006

Saturday morning. I got my alarm clock set for 5:00am, went to the lake to walk a bit and take a few snapshots.

This one I took at 6:30, while the sun was still hidden. I took shots of this place with and without the polarizer, and it's a huge difference, mainly on the saturation of the green.

Amazing how people wake up early to fish...

That's one of my favorites

Then, hiking around, I found this weird place

It's a dam on Otay Lakes (San Diego), you almost can't see it from the road

I hiked there to get a closer shot, and started to find more interesting things to shoot

Luckily there was nobody there, as I understand the place may be visited by some unfriendly people sometimes
