Sunset
Southern California offers gorgeous weather in all months!
The featured image was taken at sunset. That said, this is a great beach location to hang out during the day through sunset.
Field tips
By using a wide-angle lens (16mm) you’ll be able to fully capture the set of palm trees.
Setting up a hammock tied between two palm trees always makes for a good image. Get creative with your accessories.
Don’t forget to bring along a model so you have a subject in your photo.
