Ominous

Huntington State Beach, Magnolia

















Notes: out and back to Huntington State Beach, Magnolia about...arrived to see things fogged in...hardly anyone about...surf still knee high...sat, and sat...did the sketch...inktober prompt "Ominous"...and, the fog finally receded, and an orange glow on the horizon, but sun down...what to do what to do....and then a mixed flock of Terns, Seagulls, and Sandpipers whirled about and settled in for the evening before and around me...sometimes the Deer would do this in the Valley...I'd be sighting on Owl in Owl Woods, and find myself in the midst of Deer hunkering down...I messed up the claws...supposed to resemble Lobster crackers like one might find in a seafood restaurant...on one screen, the pics are way too dark, like the last one...on my tablet they look like they do on my cameras...and the last one mentionable!...the Moon didn't wash out...a bit of its dark features visible,,,how many times the Moon rising over Half Dome was just too bright for this to happen?!...and the trick for photos like this, is to have the sun setting, highlighting from behind  the foreground,,,there's a moment when everything is okay, brightness balanced-the Moon not just a light bulb!...
