The Keyhole

November 15, 2015  It rained briefly that afternoon here in Newport Beach, California.  I looked out our bedroom window and saw promising clouds.  I hopped into the car and raced down to Newport Pier where it was low tide.  In a location that usually has a raft of photographers I was the only one there.  There was a short time window for a shot and the first few shots I got looked as if I were photographing a keyhole.  The sky was vivid for about 20 minutes and when the sun was down, it was all over.  Catalina Island is visible in the background.  

Nikon D800  Nikkor 16-35  27mm  ISO100  I used a Neutral Density Filter for this shot.  2.0  f/18  RAW  White Balance Auto  Processed in LightroomCC2015, PhotoshopCC2015, NIK and TK.
