Night Views from the Pier

28 November 2014:

The humidity went back up this evening, and the beginnings of a fog were hanging about. Top image looks north towards El Segundo, bottom image looks south towards Redondo Beach. Both taken about one hour after sunset. I like the bottom one the best - the light beacon adds a lot of interest.

Sidewalk Art

23 November 2014:

A shop in downtown Hermosa has set up a laser art display that is projected onto the sidewalk just outside of their entrance. It attracts a lot of attention, but is tricky to photograph.

Table Tennis Tournament

22 November 2014:

Lily took me to watch a table tennis tournament this afternoon. She takes her lessons at this facility. I am told this was a fairly relaxed tournament. It was fun to watch!

Dessert

19 November 2014:

Still learning to work with the new lens. Here is a shot at f/8 to test the sharpness at night. I like the contrast and sharpness. And, we had dessert too.

It finally rained.

1 November 2014:

These were taken on a morning walk down to the beach. We got 1/4 inch of rain last night, first rain since that odd rain blast we got back in mid-summer.
