When you are in L.A., take a free trip to Griffith observatory. The view is stunning. Bring your tripod and be ready to take a shot with long exposure. Here I set the ISO really low to minimize noise so the exposure was super long. That made those people waiting for the telescope show some motion. I did not forget to capture the city nightscape on the background. (Nikon D800E, Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8 at 24mm. f/8 for 25 sec. ISO = 200 with tripod)

Looking at one Joshua tree between two huge rocks. They act as a frame to punctuate the tree. I forced the flash to make this picture this certain look. Using this basic technique to have this dark border with brighter center. Eyes tend to stay inside of the picture and don't escape out of the dark frame/border. Simple technique to keep your eyes stay in the center (Nikon D7000, Nikkor 18-200mm at 18mm, 1/250 f/13)
Here, I got very close to the flowers (or whatever they are) with my wide angle lens and forced flash during day time. The background is not too dark and I can still see the beautiful architecture of the building behind. (Nikon D7000, Tokina 11-16mm at 11mm, 1/250 f/13, forced flash, hand held)
This is what the camera man was shooting....a reporter with 4 inch heels....this time with a super car. (D7000, Nikkor 18-200mm at 80mm, 1/50, f/9, post BW adjustment with Topaz BW)
A classic bus, camera man in classic cloths and Cartier sign all came into one picture. Kind of cool and lucky to get this shot. This was taken at Rodeo Dr. in Beverly Hills. I wanted to show little more motion in the picture but didn't have enough time to set my camera to its shutter speed priority mode and slow down the shutter speed. (D7000, Nikkor 18-200mm at 80mm, 1/50, f / 9, handheld, no filter)
The Disney Music Center is in downtown L.A., walking distance from my parents' condo. I woke up at 6 AM and took this picture. The sun just rose and was giving some golden hue to the metallic wall of the building. There was so much range of color that I though I would do some HDR photos. I used a super-wide angle lens and was up against the building. (Nikon D7000, Tokina 11-16 mm at 11mm, f / 5.6, no filter, yes tripod)
