•Malibu Pier Extended• - a photo on Flickriver

            I spent most of my first 2 weeks in California splitting my time between the Malibu Coast and Mulholland Drive. While I had a lot of difficulty shooting Mulholland because I had very little experience with hazy conditions, Malibu Pier was always a winner for me. 

As I've mentioned a few times I think, I knew nothing about this place at the time and for most, it's probably an afterthought. There's no real beach area at the pier but past it is the lagoon portion which is where most of the beachgoers end up. The pier itself is very short and in the bottom 5 in California in length. There's a really calm, serene feeling whenever I've been here and standing on the rocky embankment gives you just enough height to get an interesting perspective. 

Since arriving here in late December, I've probably taken over 1,000 shots from about here to a similar distance on the other side and never get tired of it. For a few months, this entire area was closed off and under heavy construction and I really missed shooting here. It did however, give me a good chance to explore a bit more in both directions and helped me find a few of my other favorite locations. 

This was a 2 frame horizontal panorama and I was lucky to match these up at all. I shot 4 or 5 frames of the right side of the pier and the surf and just 1 of the actual pier for some reason. Fortunately I found a decent match from the set. Scotch was with me this day and since we left at sunrise, he was sleeping by my feet during the majority of this trip. It was also the last time I dragged him along for a shoot. After this, we headed up into Topanga Canyon in the dense fog and rain and I think he finally decided he'd rather retire and hang out at home.
