#Terminal Island and the Vincent Thomas Bridge in San Pedro, CA.
Photo Using Camera: Canon 5d MK IV Lens: Canon 16-35 2.8L III Settings: 17mm, ISO 100, f/4.5, 6 sec.
This photo is something I have been wanting to attempt for a while. When I first started taking photos a few years ago I took my camera out to San Pedro and Long Beach, CA. I dn't know the first thing about anything and was just tuning nobs and snapping away. One of the photos I got was amazing, well to me that is.. The image was way over exposed and full of so much noise that it was pretty much unusable according to the guy at the print lab, and he was very correct.
So, now that I know a thing or two I wanted to give this another try, and what place better to do this than from the docks looking out at Terminal Island and the Vincent Thomas Bridge in San Pedro, CA. The composition isn't exactly whatI was going for, but the quality was. This image might not show it because of the FB compression, but the HQ image is as clear as can be, and that puts a smile on my face!
The real fun behind the image was the fact that I had to find a spot to take it, and everyone knows the docks are all but closed off now. After driving around I turned into the parking area near the Catalina Express dock just under the bridge and noticed a small grass area. So I did what anyone would do, I parked in a small turnoff, put on my hazard light grabbed my camera an headed off to find a spot. After a few seconds I noticed that the Security for the area was making their rounds and headed towards my car So l set up snapped a handful of images jogged back to my car right when they got there, thanked them for not towing me and headed home to see what I got.
Here is one of the keepers, I won't be posting anymore here as I will be saving the best for my website and an attempt at printing it. But none the less I hope you enjoy... :-)
