I am new here and this is my first picture post, a self portrait of sorts.....
Being new to this forum perhaps I have posted in the wrong forum, please let me know if so.
This was taken at Dockweller beach which separates LAX from the pacific, an often empty beach due to the noise of jet engines. The camera was on a tripod somewhere around 30-40 feet behind me and although there was hardly anyone around it was still nerve racking that I could not look at my camera to make sure nobody ran off with it for 30+ seconds at a time...... sometimes it is difficult to find some body that wants to stand in the dark ocean in november for the sake of a picture so you have to do it yourself
The waves came as high as mid-calf and the water was rapidly washing the sand away from underneath my feet although both of those are seemingly unnoticeable due to the long exposure
