A long exposure photo looking down on El Matador beach in Malibu.

It’s kinda of funny. I spent a good hour walking around down on the beach trying to get long exposure photos of the water washing around the big rocks that make up El Matador Beach in Malibu, but this shot is one of my favorites from the day.

On my walk down the big stairway to the beach, I thought there might be something to this view, but I kept on walking down to the beach. On the way back to my car though, I stopped and took another look and decided that this might be the view I was really after.

So I unpacked my gear and set up for this shot. I’m glad I did.
