Photo Caption: What a treat last night was! I headed into LA for work this weekend so I hit up a couple Instagram friends to go shoot in Malibu… It was sometime yesterday afternoon that people were chattering about Bio-luminescence in the water from the night before and I was shown @themalibuartist’s most recent image by @thekevingreene… I hoped that it would stick around for one more night and met up with @misledreject, Kevin, @alex.sphoto & @nathanaugustreed before heading down to the beach and then meeting up with @themalibuartist @themalibuartistwife and a few others who’s IG names I can’t recall and who I also couldn’t see in the dark.. it was like a last minute instameet lol…

I ended up setting up this comp (which was lit by a nearby spotlight down the beach) when I was shooting on my own; everyone was scattered up and down the beach- probably a good 20-30 photographers and most knew each other…

It wasn’t super obvious; You couldn’t see the luminescence unless the waves crashed and Carlos said it was nowhere near as bright as the previous night..

As I finished up the comp, a guy walked up and said, Tracy? And it was none other than @stevenjmagner whom I have talked about photography so many times over the last 8 months and is an active part of @milkywaychasers.. he took me down to meet @cecphotos who he was there with and I spent the rest of the evening side by side cracking jokes (they tried to convince me that climbing out on this rock in the water was a good selfie idea) and discussing photography; and cheering every time a wave crashed an lit up really big. What a fun and expected evening last night; I love social media and all the friends and connections I have made! (Nice to meet Neil, Patrick and a few others too!)

This is 10 images for the sky stacked in SLS for NR, with about 6 images of the luminescence stacked in separate using the lighten blend mode..
