Leo Carrillo Sunrise

Another sunrise shot from a remarkable morning last January when Eric Gail and I headed out at 5 AM with hopes of catching a sunrise at Leo Carrillo Beach. This was only our second time visiting this beach, and we wouldn't have known about it at all if not for a tip from one of the natives on our previous shoot down at the Malibu Pier. Leo Carrillo is another rare East facing beach where you can shoot the sunrise over the ocean in spite of the fact that you are on the West Coast. Between the cave, the archway, and the jagged coastline, this location bounced way up on our shooting list and both of us agreed that there seems to be more potential here than at the more popular El Matador which is just South of this beach. I was hoping to head back there, but now that we are approaching May, we might be out of luck as the low clouds will soon be moving in for the Summer and the sun will probably be out of position as it will have moved much further to the North.

 

If I have to wait another 6 months to head back, it will definitely be worth the wait.
