Magical Descent: Turquoise and Purple Hues on the Bridge

This small bridge really added to the tranquil atmosphere of the Japanese garden. I loved how the late afternoon sun started casting all of these shadows across the walkway and I knew I had to capture this view. I decided to make it even more dramatic and added in some contrasting hues effect. This created a scene that was even more magical and enchanting. The pastel aqua, turquoise and purple colors started coming to life. 

Shining Bright in Santa Monica: Reflections at the Pier

 

A bustling night out at the Santa Monica Pier. Crowds began to dissipate as we went further down the pier into pitch black darkness, hearing laughter in the distance and calming waves. 

From the other side, we could see the famous Pacific Wheel, altering into different colors and designs every other second. I particularly loved this color cast--a mix of orange and pink, creating that soft yet vibrant salmon color. 

After Sunrise: Aerial View of San Francisco Bay

 

That unbelievable view just after sunrise as the sky begins to clear up and the fog slowly evaporates. 

The skyscrapers, water, hills, and bridges start to show their true colors. 

Broad Museum's State-of-the Art Design and Architecture

Described as a "block-size box", the design and architecture of the Broad Museum is beyond modern with sharp, intricate details outside and inside. 

I decided to capture a closeup view of this building to really capture the magnificent, contemporary composition.
