Early Morning, Pacific Coast Highway w

©Copyright 2022 Karlton Huber Photography - all rights reserved.

I was up and out very early on this morning in order to do a morning shoot at the Bolsa Chica Wetlands in Huntington Beach, CA. I arrived in the wee hours of the morning and made this photograph well before sunrise.

I was initially drawn to the colorful reflections in the inky black pre-dawn water and knew I had a good opportunity to have a little fun with this scene. I selected a small aperture in order to get the star effect on the lights in the beach parking lot as well as set myself up to do a long exposure which I thought would soften the water and allow me to make nice light trails out of the oncoming north bound vehicle traffic on PCH. This is a 30 second exposure. I really like the vivid reflections; the texture of the water and I was very pleased to get edge to edge light trails!
