Self Portrait In La Jolla

The skies looked really promising last Saturday evening. I spent a few hours exploring the rocks and tide pools around La Jolla, taking advantage of the low tide.

Sunset fizzled and I continued hopping around the rocks shooting at twilight. Another photographer walked into my composition, looking for their own shots. I wanted him to pause... but he moved through too quickly and ghosted in the photo.

I set the timer on the camera and scurried out into the shot before the light faded. It's my favorite photo from the shoot.

Technical Details:
- Sony A7R w/ FE 16-35 F4 ZA OSS
- f/16 @ 16mm, 3.2 sec, ISO 100
- Processed in Lightroom

He also can't help getting his feet wet photographing at the beach.
