The featured image is of the Ferris Wheel at Pacific Park, which is on the Santa Monica Pier. I photographed this from the pier’s parking lot.

Tips
When to go
Best season
All months
Best time
Sunset
All months are suitable to photograph Pacific Park.
Visit at sunset for great colors in the sky, but also to incorporate the park’s neon lights (which tend to turn on around this time). The sky colors + neon lights make for a great vibe to capture.
Field tips
A telephoto or zoom lens (90mm) will allow you to compress the elements of the image: the parking lot, ferris wheel and sky.
You've got some space to move around the parking lot to find your perfect composition.
Be patient and wait for that moment when the colorful sky + neon lights are at their brightest.
