Long Beach Sunset Shoot – June 20

Wednesday, 12 November 2025 by Scott4002
Long Beach Harbor
The Queen Mary takes on a magical illumination at this hour and your DPA instructor will help you capture it with demonstrations and supervision on composition and camera setting expertise.
As for the light house and its reflection in the adjacent waters, try the Rule of Thirds in your composition versus dead center to choose which you prefer as a fit for your signature style of shooting. There is no wrong approach and such considerations, discussed with your co-participants and the instructor can also apply toward a myriad of choices with so many photo ops in the harbor and marina as well. It is hard not to get something good at sunset.

Santa Monica Pier

The Santa Monica Pier is home to a world of entertainment, from carousel rides to shopping to arcades. But it is also an amazing place for photographers to experiment, sharpen their skills, and capture beautiful evening photographs. Join your Digital Photo Academy instructor to photograph the sunset over the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Monica Pier at sunset. You should bring your DSLR or another type of camera that you use, a fully-charged battery, and the equipment that you can carry. It would be helpful to bring a tripod if you have one to utilize long exposures, though you will also learn other means to steady your camera without a tripod.
