Santa Monica Dusk
Getting your work into print is always fun – especially when Atlantic Records decides to licence one of your stock images for a CD cover. This image was shot in Santa Monica in 1997 on medium format using Fuji Velvia and a Lee 0.6 soft grad ND filter. The low cloud really helped enhance the colours of the sunset.
Tempus fugit…and roll on about 13 years (!), back in LA and another opportunity to record one of the area’s wonderful dusks. No low cloud this time but some wispy ones to catch the day’s last rays.
And yes, sunsets here really can be this vivid…
Many thanks to Macy, Paul, Sal and KP – without whom…
Visitors to Los Angeles often go to Santa Monica, Hollywood and Universal Studios but by doing so miss the stunning architecture and life of Downtown LA which is more akin to New York than California.
