Santa Monica Pier

Just wanted some night time shots of the pier and the ferris wheel at sunset.

1. Buddy saw this light and liked the radial shadow patter of the columns and the parallel flare from the lens.

2. A two member band was playing some great 70's and 80's rock and this one dude was enjoying WAYYYYYYYYYY too much and just dancing all by himself.

3. Just trying out layering, with the lifeguard station, then the ferris wheel and the end of the pier at the end.

    Thanks folks.
    I really don't do a lot of night photography as I don't like using tripods but I really haven't taken any pier shots.
    Seeing as I live pretty close by, I thought it was time.

    Thanks again folks. In LA, we don't have much clouds except after raining, so it rained recently so I wanted to go shoot what little clouds we can get. Shooting at sunset is nice but IMO, shooting in the twilight, the half an hour or so just after the sunset where the sky is still lit, is more interesting time for me and the last two shots were taken at that time.
