So leaving the Science museum, I saw this scene across Expo Park. I like how this came out, even though I did almost everything wrong. I didn’t have the right lens, or a tripod, both which would have been great for attempting a shot like this. The noise level was really high, because the ISO was set around 2600. I love my Nikon D700, cause it can take high ISO shots without showing noise, but even it can’t create miracles. I recently upgraded to Lightroom 3, and it’s noise reduction tools helped quite a bit.

So I will be spending time over the next few days in the California Science Museum, and I figured it was a great space to take some photos. I fell in love with this wall, and there was a pink light that was hitting it, which made it even better.

So, I took a walk on Venice Beach on Friday, just a quick one. But it was the first day I was there when it was really grey and overcast, and I thought it would be interesting to shoot. Cause it was a weekday, and kinda cold, there were much fewer people around that there is on a sunny weekend. I happened upon this set up for some kind of event, and I loved all the video cameras they had set up. Security wasn’t pleased with me, but I liked the way this one came out.

I have yet to figure out if we annoy our cats, or if they are laying traps to get us to interact with them. It’s very hard to walk by them when they look adorable and not hug and squeeze them. They are our stuff animals.

Devon minding his own business...

...the a human walks by and the hugging ensues.
