Location
This was taken at Scripps Pier, San Diego, CA. Which is close to UC San DeigoTime
I was visiting San Diego on a business trip, I always wanted to shoot this pier. However I did not have time to visit during sunset/Surise, this was pretty much midday. Still wanted to try some long exposure shot. I don't think I used any ND filter, still managed to capture some silky waves with long exposureLighting
Not the best lighting I wanted, since I have seen really great sunset pictures at this location. However I had to make the best of my visit, ended up shooting long exposure during the day to make this image.Equipment
Used Nikon D750, 28-300mm lens Exif: ƒ/22 1/8 300mm ISO100Inspiration
Visited Peter Lik's Gallery in La Jolla, CA. This image is no match to his Scripps Pier image. After seeing his image which was shot during sun set, I always wanted to visit this place to shoot. Someday I get to go back there shoot a sunset image.Editing
Processed in Photomatix pro, this is a bracketed image, combined as HDR using Photomatix Pro.In my camera bag
This was shot in 2015. Currently I have Nikon D850, Nikon 24-70mm, Nikon 85mm, 11-16mm TokinaFeedback
If you are a local, check the weather, go on a day where you can expect a great sunset. This is a great place to shoot sunset. I have seen some spectacular images at this location. Unfortunately I was a visitor, can't control the weather during my visit!
