Victoria Beach Tide Pool | Laguna Beach, CA

Description

In 2009 and 2010, while an Editor at Import Tuner magazine, the Irvine office where I worked was about 15 minutes away from Laguna Beach. Victoria Beach is located just a few miles south of the PCH/133 intersection in Laguna, and offers some of the best rocky beach scenery in Southern California. It fast became one of my favorite spots to decompress and shoot seascapes during my long workdays.

This particular image put myself and my camera right in the middle of incoming tides. I had to get really crafty to keep everything dry in between shots, and soon discovered the benefits to adding plastic bags and a clear umbrella to my arsenal.
