I’ve always wanted to come back to Santa Monica Pier when I had a better setup. It was about mid-2014 when I first checked out the pier and remembered taking photos with a Nikon D700. Well at that time I didn’t think the photos were up to speed with all the other photos I was viewing. That all changed when I finally decided to make the 2 hr drive to revisit Santa Monica Pier with my 5MK3. I would have to safely say, I’m happy that I came back! I hope you enjoy this shot as much as I do.
