Interesting shot in two ways.
First of all the exposure is spot on. I have been hit or miss with
night shots and fireworks pictures.
Second, I haven't been there in years, not since moving back to
Oklahoma City 10 years ago. I'll be back to San Diego in
November-December to visit my kids and their kids, and may just drive
up to Santa Monica. I will get up to Long Beach to see my sister.
Also- The old Santa Monica Ferris wheel is having a new life here in
Oklahoma City in Downtown Airpark (where I worked and flew in the
1950 time frame*). The airport is long closed but is just across the
river from down town OKC. The Ferris wheel was refurbished, LED
lighting installed, and it sits right at the end of an old
runway. I've never driven up to see it at night but maybe this is a
reason to do so. [I confess that any pictures I might take would not
be on film, though.]

Don Williams
*I was in High school at the time and worked as a Junior
Mechanic. Now I can see that the main runway is maybe a half mile
from the buildings down town. That was never an issue in those days
but now I would never fly out of that field. Have a look with Google
Earth and you will understand why.
And, yes, It's nice to see some activity on this Rollei Forum
