Here's our last photograph for CJ's LA Tour. We found a spot in Downtown LA for a nice nighttime shot.
I was planning this tour of LA with CJ as a goal for months. Expected to finish in 1 month, but we ended up going over 4 months. We just kept finding things of interest, many I've never seen before. I'm sure we'll find even more places to photograph in the future.
Hope we were able to give you all a fun tour of Los Angeles through the little eyes of CJ. Now he'll work on some other subjects we had in mind. 🌃😄
This is a brilliant shot. CJ had his work cut out to stand still for the full 30 sec. it took you to take this shot!
Well done and A FAV! You really pushed the limits of your camera for this one!
Thank you Cris, The tour was very informative and enjoyable. This evening shot is also worthy of the previous pictures. I am looking forward to the next venue.
@farmreporter - Hahahaha that made me laugh so much. He had to stand still AND it was very cold. I don't know how he did it. I'm grateful for his patience. Thanks for the chuckles and the fav!! :)
Whoa, thanks everyone for the amazing comments, views, and all your favs! Even getting CJ's night shot on the popular page. Thanks for taking the LA tour along with us. :)
A stunningly great way to conclude CJ's tour. A great long exposure - one of the best shots of L.A. that I've ever seen. BTW, that third building from the left is one that I used to work out of. Fav for me.
@stray_shooter - Thanks for the high praise Ron! I do think I could have captured the moon and lights a bit better (with less "flare" so they look more natural) but I'm very pleased with the shot. That's so cool you worked there, did you work near the top floor?
@stray_shooter - Nice!! That must have been something to see all the going's on while working. But the traffic, especially around game days...you probably don't miss that much. Haha.
What a gorgeous closing photo! And just think, CJ can play tour-guide to all the 365ers who will be showing up in LA, thanks to his city ambassadorship,
@cjphoto -- everything is in focus, and you're only at 8.0 yet the contrast of the foreground and background are pretty far in distance. Did you stack or HDR or ???
Awesome night shot! It's been fun to see LA through the little guy's eyes- brought back some memories of my short visit there and showed me some new things too. It's been a great series!
@olivetreeann - Aww, Thank you Ann!! So happy you enjoyed the ride we took around LA and that it even sparked up your memories. So easy for me to forget all there is to see here.
@jyokota - Ohhh!! Should have mentioned that I created a composite here. I did one shot of the city in focus and then another shot with CJ in focus. Then merged them together in Photoshop to have both CJ & the city in focus. Did the same for the shot of the mountains behind the city. I've always wanted to try this and I learned a lot.
For reference:
The image of CJ in focus was F/16 @ 30 sec
The image of the city in focus was F/8.0 @ 30 secs
(To be honest, have no idea why I shot the city at 8.0. Ordinarily I would shoot it at 16 so probably just didn't pay enough attention. It was SO COLD!)
