I love both of them, but the color of the sky in the first one really captivated me - what a beautiful image! Thanks for your continued great posts! And like others, I appreciate the insight offered re: setting proper night exposure - looking forward to trying out this little trick.

Sent you my version of the same captured at night. These images have prompted me to go back and try my luck during the morning hours, and using a similar long exposure method, in the evening, too. Lucky to live so close to an actual La Jolla 'icon', -- the pier! Thanks again for sharing! Hi Bill,

I love how the long exposures smooth things out. I've been using an 8-stop nd with polarizer now for a little while and it really makes me take a new look at some scenes that I would normally just use the polarizer on, getting 20-60 second exposures even during the day (overcast). I often shoot scenes both ways now, and almost always prefer the longer exposure with the nd. Probably just a phase, but it gives others something new to look at and enjoy, like yours... Sunset.

For me the sunrise image has a wonderful shift that encompasses a great deal. The tone shifts from the light on sand with its striking reflection to sun on the water and wood. I find this change visually delightful, capturing the beauty of good light and a dramatic reflection with a wave softened by time but clearly visible. My eye emerges from the cool light beneath the pier into warm sunshine. The quality of the light and the blending from dramatic to familiar is very successful. I feel like I am standing right where you were and my eye just keeps exploring this photograph. Great image! -Travis Hi Bill,

But if I had to pick one, I would pick the sunset version. Hi Bill I do like them both and the water here adds some additional interest. But if I had to pick one, I would pick the sunset version.
