The View.

Hanging out on Huntington Beach, California enjoying the view.

Some of you may recognize that pier. It has appeared in a few of my photographs. In fact, my highest rated photo ever in a challenge features this pier (shown below)...

Nice comp and dof. And, the angle of sun is just right. You've gotten to know that spot pretty well. Nice shot.

I normally use the "AF Point" feature of my camera on self-portraits. For this capture, I set it to focus at the "3 o'clock" position when the shutter is released. An aperture of f/5.6 helped, too.
