Manhattan Beach Pier

Gloomy day at the Manhattan Beach Pier on Friday 4/7. But made the most of it with this 30 second shot.

"Friday Night Lights" Evening shoot of the Pier on April 7. Stick around a little while after the sun goes down and then the lights pop on. Not HDR, single exposure image.

The historic Manhattan Beach Pier has been an icon of this beachfront community since 1920. It was built 7 years after a major storm destroyed the "Old Iron Pier" that preceded it. The older pier was equipped with a propeller system to generate electricity from waves.

Today, the spot is great for surfing, sunsets and playing in the surf break.

The first time I saw the current pier was in the original movIe "Point Break". Keanu Reeve's character purchases a surfboard from shop on the pier.
