CA Dreamin'

I captured this iconic SoCal scene the other night at the beach around sunset. Can't ya just imagine Beach Boy tunes playing in the background? Well not so fast. This was purely for show, they were there for a photo shoot. The air and water temps were around 60 degrees and they barely got their toes wet before heading back to the parking lot. The surfers there to surf were all in wetsuits.

Nice candid and a nice story attached to the portrait.
I think the 60 is a bit on the cool side for sure probably a little cooler deeper.
Nice sharpness and nice bokeh.

Wow!
Blond hair blowing in the wind carrying their boards!
This sums it all up perfectly.
I will just pretend it was the real deal.
Great work, my friend.

Yes I can hear the Beach Boys playing in my head and their beautiful blonde locks swaying to the beat. V!

That's always what I used to think of when California was mentioned,
about 50 years ago.

Sometimes it is better not to know what is going on. Great image either way. V

with natty swim suits and flowing blond locks they seem convincing enough in that late light..

Great beach shot, even if it was staged. Looks like the height of summer!
