Living in CA for a few years, I fell in love with Santa Monica. I loved shopping on 3rd Street and taking a walk down to the pier at sunset. This photo was taken recently in January 2012, while visiting CA. My good friend and I decided to take a walk and photo safari down in Santa Monica at sunset, when this beautiful scene appeared. It was incredible! Santa Monica Pier Sunset was photographed on a Contax 645 Medium Format Film Camera, using Kodak Ektar 100. I just love this film for the amazing colors!

It's special because my camera was new and she sat still long enough and natural enough for me to take this picture. She was an affectionate pet that was lost soon after. Photo taken by R (Kanada) - Animals/Pets

Taken in February of 2014 in Grimes, Ca. This shot means a lot to me because the effort I put in to get it paid off. After sitting in a hide just outside their feeding location I spent all day taking hundreds of pictures with most of them being missed shots. There were few good ones but this was my favorite.
