Scripps Pier HDR merge, shot by Natalie Kardos

Your moment of zen. Or, at least it was mine. Another HDR merge, from the photos I took while cutting out of work and down to Scripps Pier for an hour today. It's not the prettiest spot on the beach, but it's one of my favorites, probably because it's usually deserted except for some surfers in the early morning and evening. And nothing relaxes me more than having no people around.

No EXIF data.

366 Days, 366 Photos: 01/10/2008

Thanks to Rosey for pointing out that this year is a leap year, thus there are 366 days in it - I amended the title of this section to reflect that.

For today's photo, I decided to head over to Scripps Pier, a place I used to go to a lot when I lived in the UTC area, but that I haven't been to in awhile. Quite frankly, it's been awhile since I've been to the ocean at all. Kinda strange. Anyway, I took the tripod, of course. The first shot I took was just a 30 second exposure at ISO 100 to gauge the available light. Then I guessed that a five minute exposure would probably be about right. And five minutes later, I had this photo:

Sometimes, things just work out nicely for you. Which was good, because I was starving and had to make my way up to Solana Beach for the Midwinters show...expect a review of that (and the two other shows I attended this week) probably tomorrow.
