Narrative:
I was transitioning wbound along the shoreline above malibu, ca, at 1500 ft past the temporary restr airspace and apparently dropped below 1500 ft while transitioning. My copilot and I were aware of the restr and were watching our altitude to maintain 1500 ft. I subsequently had my 100 hour/annual and had my altimeter checked and adjusted.
