Sunset on a diamond.

I stopped by the beach at the end of Diamond street in Laguna Beach last night. It was sunny with blue skies at home so I drove down to Laguna Beach hoping to get a nice sunset and what do I find? Grey. Lots of Grey. I was just about to give up and all of the sudden I see the clouds starting to part and color starting to come in. So I stood there for a good 15 minutes waiting for enough color and sky to get a good picture.

I can see the light!

The neon lights of the rides over at the SM Pier. I was surprised that I actually caught it with all the lights bright and nothing else to pollute the light of the picture. There was a lot of light pollution and I have no idea how this one came out. I think that it has to do with ramping up the ISO and going with a faster shutter speed. We shall try it again one day when I find another well lit Ferris wheel at night. Had a little fun with the colors too, look below. It's not often I post two pictures in one post.
