Went to dinner at the beach. afterwards, we walked along the coast and looked in shops and such before arriving at PCH. We decided to go for a walk along the baech as well. We also decided to walk along the pier. This is a picture looking at the building on the end of the pier. The main light that I wanted to observe was the fact that the reflection of the light from the pier, bounces off the water below and is allowing for more light to be seen, even though it is not a direct source of where the light is coming from... if that makes sense. It made me think how much light was bouncing off the water, for example: If 100% of the light for the building and along the pier was hitting the water, was 70% of that light bouncing back? How much light was being absorbed by the ocean itself? Im not too sure how that works... but that was what was going through my head at that time. After looking at the picture, i realized that the light from the poles along the pier were very blurry, and hazy around the light. I know that when for and smoke are added to a stage, one can see the beams of light better than if the smoke were not there. I was curious to if the water vapor from the ocean also can have an effect on the light sources around it. Either way, I enjoy this pic, mostly because of the light that is bouncing off of the ocean below the pier. :)
