"THE WATCH" - Newport Beach, CA

Captured this one late at night in Newport Beach. The moonlight was soft but strong enough to light up the water, and I used a long exposure to smooth out the ocean and bring out the glow on the horizon. The lifeguard tower just sat there—still, quiet, kind of eerie in the best way. No one around, just the sound of the tide and a bit of wind. One of those nights where everything feels slowed down.
