SUNSET PHOTO GALLERY
Photographs of sunsets in Huntington Beach
are fairly simple to take with the correct lighting and some
strategic framing. Sunrises
and sunsets are different every day of the year and the spectrum
of colors can change each day as well as each minute during
the last phases of the sunset. There's nothing
as relaxing and inspiring as taking a picture of the sun setting
over the world-famous Huntington Beach Pier. This pier has
been the landmark and centerpiece of Huntington Beach for over
100 years since it was first built in 1904.
For photographers and travelers in Huntington Beach,
there are some great
photo labs to develop your film in an hour but none in the
Main Street downtown region. Disposable film cameras and
film are sold in shops along the street, however. Stores
where we've seen film include Beach Island, Zack's
Concessions, Surf City Deli and Surf City Store. Film
processing is available nearby at Seacliff Shopping Center
at Albertson's or at EJ's Photo at 5 Points Plaza. For our
business needs, we have converted primarily to digital and
travel with a Dell notebook computer and a Western Digital
250 Gig hard drive. The two combined fit in a suitcase
easily and still allow room for clothing.
Sunsets during the Huntington Beach summer
range from 7 to 8 p.m. In October before Daylight Savings
Time, the sunsets occur at around 6 p.m. There's a good 20
minute window of opportunity to take photos before the sun
is out of view. Even after it has disappeared, the sky can
put on a show of colors. And finally, if you stay longer,
the lights of the pier come on and believe it or not, you
can still get some awesome photos from the south side of the
pier.
