If you can wake up early enough, the sunrise out here in LA can be just as beautiful as our famous sunsets. On a brisk Sunday morning recently I set out to see what the Santa Monica pier had to offer at 5:30am when the moon gave way to the sun.
A few joggers, fishermen and seagulls were the only ones out to welcome the day.
Simple things become much more photogenic during the solitary morning hours. Having a trusty tripod is the only way to really allow for all the colors and light happening.
Couldn't resist a bokeh gif either! How's that for a double whammy :) It makes me happy- and it's a pretty good representation of my hour on the pier.
