New Years Day 2010 in Carlsbad :

The clouds had been nice, wispy cirrus clouds all day and there was a good chance of a nice sunset. However, as it got late in the day, the clouds along the coast began to fill in. I wasn't sure whether it was worth trying to photograph the sunset. With only 1/2 hour before sundown, I decided to head down to the closest beach. I hadn't photographed the sunset at the south Carlsbad State Beach before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I knew there were some nice sandstone bluffs, but wasn't sure if there was much else. As I approached the beach, I could see the sun peaking through at the horizon. I also noticed that there was no parking, in an area where normally only winter surfers park.

After finally finding a parking spot, I hurried down to the beach. To my surprise (because I'd forgotten the surf report), the tide was very low and a lot of reef was exposed. There were crowds of people out on the reefs exploring the tide pools. I had to stake out a small patch of exposed reef a little ways down the beach from the crowd as the sun was starting to set.

Oceanside Pier Sunset 2 : My second trip to the Oceanside pier for sunset. I was looking for some different views to show off the architecture.

Oceanside Pier at Sunset : This was my first time photographing the Oceanside pier. I'll definitely come back to get different viewpoints, because I think there's a lot of potential with the pier as a subject. The people in downtown Oceanside were interesting as well.

Thanks!

Windansea Sunset : Based on a local's suggestion that I photograph Windansea in La Jolla, I headed down to catch the last rays of the sun as it slipped over the horizon. The swells were still up and it was just past high tide, so the waves were still crashing against the bluffs.
