I drove down to Oceanside one recent Sunday morning. I arrived at the beach about an hour before sunrise. I drove around and really couldn't find a free place to park. I ended up parking at a pay-to-park lot right near the pier. The lot didn't open until 6:00 AM and I was there at about 5:15 AM. The automated machine to pay was not open yet.I decided to go ahead and park the car anyway. I got out of the car, got my camera gear, both the Hasselblad and the Canon kit.I walked the short distance from the parking lot to the pier. Out on to the pier and set up my tripod in the center of the platform. There were not very many people there. A few minutes after I set up my tripod, fishermen began to trickle on to the pier. Each time I went to take a shot, somebody would be walking up behind me. Finally, I was able to take a shot without anybody walking through my frame. The shot is OK. Nothing spectacular. What bothered me was the fact that my Canon L lens has a very bad case of lens flare (removed from the photo). It does not react well to bright lights in the photo when shooting in the dark. My 40 year old Hasselblad does much better. Go figure. After taking a few more shots over the beach at sunrise, I walked back to the car just as the parking lot was opening. I decided to pay at the automated machine, it would be just my luck I would get a parking ticket on the way out if I didn't pay.
