Bright Light - La Jolla Cove, CA - 2005


- This picture was taken at night on the beach at La
Jolla Cove. The "bright light"
- is an airplane on approach to San Diego
Airport. The exposure was 30 seconds and
- because the airplane is coming
straight at me from a distance, no distortion of the
- light took place.
Because of the long exposure, the crashing waves created
- a white glow at the shoreline.
