Santa Monica Pier!

For the longest time, I have wanted to take a Ferris Wheel picture! When I found out there was a big ferris wheel on the Santa Monica pier I was beyond excited. I just traveled to L.A. to visit my brother. For 4 fabulous days, he showed me around town and took me to all the great and interesting places. I had my own personal tour guide! Tuesday was our "beach day". First we went to Venice beach and saw all the sights there, then we went to Santa Monica Pier and waited for the sun to go down. It was chilly, Tom said it was freezing but I barely noticed. I was too busty trying to get the perfect focus, the perfect shutterspeed all while waiting for the perfect color scheme to show up in the lights of the ferris wheel! We spend over an hour on that beach. I took about 50 shots and these 3 are my favorite! Tom never complained, never said he wanted to go, he was very cold but very patient! I love him for that! It was one of the many favorite moments during my trip, just sitting on the beach taking picture after picture of the Ferris Wheel!
