Rudy Kalele, Santa Monica Crossing (ABSTRACT - Entries closed)

Date taken: 25th October 2025 Place: Santa Monica Pier crossing, San Francisco USA Camera: Canon EOS R5 mk2 Lens: Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.5 L IS USM Aperture: f/2.8 Exposure time: 1/50 sec ISO: 1250 Focal length: 24mm Exposure Programme: Manual White Balance: Manual Handheld, no flash Santa Monica pier is one of the most popular beach and boardwalk in the USA. On a recent trip to US captured this image between traffic and people crossing. The crossing is multidirectional and thus the herring bone style pattern, that reverses further. The tyre marks and the vehicle lights reflection provides for the image to break the monotony.
