Palos Verdes Cove Panorama

This is a 60x20 panorama of the Palos Verdes Cove, famous to surfers all over Southern California. This is an unusually calm shot where you can see the green in the ocean. In the winter this can be one of the only spots in the South Bay to surf when the waves get double overhead. The natural boundaries of the cove cut the wave sides off and make for a beautiful ride of well over 100 yards.

December Sunset Surfer

Not too bad for December 4th! This is why we pay the sunshine tax in Southern California, you can surf in December and enjoy these luscious, warm sunsets. There is just something about the winter light in So. Cal. Canon 7DMkII | Tamron 70-200

Redondo Beach, Long Exposure

30 second exposure. Tamron SP 15-30, Photodiox 10 Stop ND filter, stacked on a 3 x ND filter. Just after sunset.

Coming in for the night

Hikers on the jetty, and boaters return to the Redondo Beach Harbor with the beautiful fall sunsets that are amazing in Los Angeles. I love the fall and winter light, it has a different and special quality than the summer sunsets. Tamron 35 mm f/1.8, Canon 7D Mk II. (c) 2016, Kevin Gilligan, All Rights Reserved.
