A rare and beautiful sunset on the unique shores of Laguna Beach. I remember visiting these beaches as a kid to skimboard along the beach breaks. I feel like no other place in Southern California has waves and beaches like these. It’s such an awesome place with a unique Southern California Vibe.
For the last few weeks, I’ve been observing and studying the great works of other Landscape Photographers. I’m trying to figure out what makes a great landscape photo. I’ve noticed that the great photos rarely have much postwork done. They are simply a capture of the perfect place at the perfect time. I’ve noticed many guys will plan and scout locations for the right time of year. Then, travel there and return to the same spot for several days until perfect weather. I unfortunately have a job, so like many hobbyist photographers, we have to be opportunists and take what we get. It’s been working mostly, and we occasionally get lucky. I just wish I could get out shooting more.
