little beach

While everyone else went to the mall and Disneyland, I headed for Little Corona del Mar again and stayed there for 5 hours from 12 noon to 5pm. My intention was to stay for the sunset but after 5 hours under the hot sun I had little energy left and I noticed that I was starting to make more and more mistakes. And besides I missed everyone. This had to be one of my most successful shoots as I remembered to do all the little things that I needed to do. My major mistake was that I had to set the vari-ND to the minimum setting to be able to see through the viewfinder and that was even minimal and I kept forgetting to adjust the setting back to the darkest setting and so over-exposed a few shots. Shooting during sunset hours as they say is the way to go and I realize that now as the photos lacked the warm colours of sunrise/sunset. But I am quite happy with the results.
