Under the Pier

Posted on September 23, 2013 by Kongo in San Diego // 23 Comments

Kongo took this image yesterday under the Scripps Pier in La Jolla, California about 10 minutes past sunset. He mounted his Canon 7D on a tripod, used a EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens set at f22 for five seconds.

Scripps Pier is a private research pier located between La Jolla Shores and Black’s Beach. It is owned by the Scripps Institute of Oceanography.

Travel safe. Have fun

Great image Kongo. I like the colors and the cross hatch pattern created by the waves in the foreground. I might have run into you if I would have decided to shoot Scripps yesterday after being shut out from Salk. Instead, I went to shoot the Geisel Library at UCSD.

  Mark, we keep circling each other. Some day we’re going to have to make a photo date! Thanks for the nice words.

    Yeah a photo date sounds good. However, I must say, when you get a group of people that share the same hobby together, it usually results in gear envy and hemorrhaging large amounts of money 🙂

    You’re right about that but from what I can tell, all the envy will be pointed in your direction, not mine! 🙂

I was going to suggest that you tag this under “postaday” for the Weekly Photo Challenge, but it seems like you already did 🙂 haha. Nice shot.

Kongo this shot is amazing – I want to have it blown up to put on my wall because it looks like the pier can take you all the way to the setting sun. I love it!!
