Beautifully composed capture. I really like how the line of the pier takes your eyes through the picture.

Location
Huntington Beach, CATime
Nighttime around 8pmLighting
The only lighting used was the natural lighting from the sunset and light posts from the pier.Equipment
The camera used is my Canon 40D with my Tokina 10-16mm lens. For this photo I did use a tripod.Inspiration
For this photo, I was waiting for my daughter and happened to stumble upon this part of the pier where there was noone on the beach. While there were a few people on the pier, in the photo it still looked secluded, a place where someone can go and think without being bothered.Editing
For this photo, I enhanced the contrast, brightness, and saturation.In my camera bag
On this day, I only brought along my camera and lens.Feedback
Like many of my photos, I take photos of the things I like, what I think is stunning. The key though is patients, do not rush into taking a photo and the timing must be right.
