Yeah, lot of lights there. You did good. You might want to try the 74 fwy next time. Especially if you can get up to Rancho Carrillo. Of course the beaches are good too.

I've have tried the beaches, but the breeze makes the lens dirty. On top of that when you are zoomed ALL the way in, a 'lil breeze moves the camera big time. I actually shot it on the tripod, but on the lowest height -- abut 14 inches. I was stting on the floor and used the LCD to compose the shot.
