There’s a tide pool on a beach called Crescent Bay, somewhere between Crystal Cove State Park and Laguna Beach. I like to go there because I can usually find parking pretty easily and it has some great local tide pools. Not as rocky as the one at Point Loma, San Diego, but it’s nice.

Anyway, I’ve been going there to snap some timed exposures of the waves. It’s a pretty messy business and I always end up wet or slimy. But I always have fun.

The first shot in this series was done a couple of weeks ago. I was unsatisfied with it to a certain extent because I felt it was a bit underexposed, and I wasn’t used to the developer (HC110). So I went back this past weekend to snap a few more shots with Pan F Plus (iso 50). I got even wetter and dirtier than before. That’s OK though, I liked a few of the shots. However, I did somehow make a nasty scratch into the emulsion of the first frame. Luckily, with the magic of photoshop, you can’t notice!

I have a Zero Image 135 pinhole camera that I bought on a whim appearing soon. My fiance had better come home soon from the east coast or else I may buy more camera gear to keep my mind occupied.
