laguna beach

This is from last week. I went down to shoot timelapse at Thousand Step Beach and Victoria Beach, but of course to also capture some stills. I wasn't sure how this IR at the beach would turn out with Victoria Tower, but I am liking the color shades that did come out. No real processing here...

I took this the other day, it is probably 60% video and 40% timelapse, but I think it works. As I mentioned before, I don't think tradition timelapse captures the fast paced wave splashes at the ocean well. At least I don't like the look of it. Perhaps I will discover the sweet spot later, but...

This is Victoria Tower which is a part of Victoria Beach in Laguna Beach California from a few days ago. This is another mix of video and timelapse. With the beach and the fast moving water and splashes, the timelapses don't really capture the essence of the splashing as they miss too much of...

Victoria Tower is a really cool structure by Victoria Beach in Laguna Beach. I captured this last week as I went down for the sunset and to shoot some timelapse and video. Victoria Tower was built as a beach access stairway. All of the houses along the Laguna Beach coastline are million dollar...

I was down in Laguna Beach to do some more timelapses and videos. And of course to shoot still photography too. I had 6 camera's going, with 3 on tripods, so I was quite the sight I am sure. :rolleyes: This one is down by Victoria Beach next to Victoria Tower. The sky was blowing up with the...

This is from 2 nights ago as I went to visit Laguna Beach California to work some more on Timelapse video's. The sunset went pretty nuclear at one point. My only problem was working with the 2 camera's I had set up for the Timelapse I didn't have much time to shoot stills with my D850. Once I...

Another shot from a few weeks ago at Woods Cove in Laguna Beach California. The clouds were a bit heavy on the horizon, the sunset never turned Nuclear but it still produced some nice color I thought. All comments are welcome, Jim

This is a kind of large Sea Cave, but not a very deep cave at Woods Cove in Laguna Beach. I didn't use any lighting in this, the Nikon D850 is just really great at Shadow Recovery which makes it so useful for these shooting locations. Due to the higher tide there wasn't anyone congregating in...

This is from last night at Woods Cove in Laguna Beach, California. We have been having rainy weather lately, and with that the clouds will break up a bit at times, and they looked like they would be scattered around sunset along with a nice tide. So I ran down there for sunset. The actual best...

The colorful sunsets have returned to Laguna Beach, went out to Wood's Cove on Friday and captured a couple of images that were worthy of editing. Not quite as colorful as I was hoping for, but still plenty there. Glad our boring summer skies are gone. A few minutes later, moved a little...

From old Treasure Island in Laguna Beach from a few years ago. Jim

A couple of shots from Laguna Beach and down by the Montage Hotel area. When the tide gets high enough the water seems to spout out against the rocks. All comments are welcome, Jim

Well, this isn't really the sea, it's the ocean, but the title was what came to mind, The series of wave splashes looked like cymbals clashing. This is from Woods Cove in Laguna Beach from a few weeks ago. The symphony was hitting on all of the right notes. All comments are welcome, Jim

A tighter shot of the setting moon at Treasure Island in Laguna Beach. All comments are welcome, Jim

Well, I found it at Treasure Island in Laguna Beach. This is a fun little area, not far from a fancy hotel so if you don't like lot's of people, this won't be the place for you. But it's still a fun area and one where you can get isolated shots pretty easily. The tide is the key as in a lot of...

This is from Laguna Beach the other day. In between shooting the mini Thors Well there I saw this outcropping a little ways out in the water that was having a really cool pour off occurring. In fact it would totally disappear under the water as the incoming waves hit it. All comments are...

This is also from last weekend at Woods Cove in Laguna Beach. One of the cool things to me about these holes that are fed from below with the surging water is how they go from empty to rising and looking like there is this water bubble being created as the water tops it and flows over. The...

Last Saturday the tide was going to be at the correct height to make this mini Thor's Well work along with some nice splash points around it. The sunset wasn't spectacular, but it was workable and the whole combination made for a really nice evening. This is located in Laguna Beach California...

I shot this a week ago with Ryan Luna who had listed a Meetup in the Meetup and Events Forum here. We had a fun time exploring this area by 1000 Steps Beach. We had gone to hopefully shoot some old man made pools there, but in the end I think we gravitated to this sea cave a bit more. All...

Though upon further review, this shot was from 15 or 20 minutes earlier I think. But it's the one I grabbed first to process, I will have to look through later and see what I was shooting from that spot. This is on the very south end of Laguna Beach accessed from the 1000 Steps Beach, Ryan had...
