Finally got around to finishing up my California pictures.  I got to play around with my ND filters during the day and I like the way the waves blended together.  And yes, I lugged around my two pound glass ball most of the time in my camera pack.  I guess I do spend a lot of time under bridges and piers.  No judgement.

Took about 50 or so keepers.  I wish I could have gotten some better night shots of the downtown LA cityscape, but I didn't luck out with the hazy weather.  I see myself making a habit of quick weekend trips out to explore more beaches and sunsets on the West Coast.

After a big breakfast at The Sidewalk Cafe in Venice Beach, and some preflight snacks at Hennessey's Tavern in Hermosa Beach, I'm ready to come home and start getting for my next big trip in October.
