Medium Format - Sunset Bliss - Day 295

 CORONA DEL MAR, Calif. (October 21, 2024) - It’s been a very gloomy year thus far in Socal. However, there are some days when you just know the sunset will be epic. This was one of those days. From mid-afternoon, you could see the sky developing. Even after a long workday, I knew I had to get out. Here are some images with the Hasselblad from the evening. 

M10 Seascapes - Day 293

 CORONA DEL MAR, Calif. (October 19, 2024) - shot the M10-R at the beach on this morning. It was bright very early, so these ended up being a little harsh. This is not my first choice for longer exposures,  because Leica implements a noise reduction cycle equal in time to the exposure. Anyway, here’s a couple of images.
