I found these on the Museum grounds, it makes me wish I had my bike with me, so I could lock it up. Again, shoot in the dark means a super high ISO, and some serious noise reduction. But I really liked the light that was there.

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 can’t reveal what this is, but it’s a clever way to pull off something that Dan is doing on this week’s podcast. I just thought it was pretty.
