Island in the Sun: Santa Monica Pier and Beach

April 19, 2012 1 comment

California life is pretty sweet! I was lucky enough to briefly pop over there last year for work for 2 1/2 weeks, and my favorite beach location has to be Santa Monica, for it’s beach, pier, and great photography opportunities!

Santa Monica is an unforgettable seaside city in Southern California. It’s full of surfers, iconic lifeguard huts, and viewfinders, oh, and a fantastic pier with amusements, and great things to photograph!

If you are lucky, you can get sneaky and take in the life around you

The pier is pretty great, you can get fantastic overlooking views of the beach life…

And don’t forget all the fantastic surrounding places of interest!

By popular demand, this month we have gone with a classic--the Diana. The lightweight plastic body, the simple shutter, the colour-dripping lens, and soft-focused surprises: what more could you want from a camera!

Camera Modification: Turn your LC-A+ into a Rainbow Camera! Personally I am a huge fan of redscaling. It allows you to get some color in your photos, even on the grayest of days.

And while you're at it, why not throw in some other colors as well?! Read on to find out how you can turn your LC-A+ in to a rainbow camera!
