Unlike what most people think, Los Angeles does get its share of snow in its mountains.
Taken just at sunset at Kenneth Hahn Park, looking east towards downtown LA with Mt. Baldy in the background.
4 exposure Pixel Shift. Frankly the detail in this photo is insane. Even in this compressed JPEG, go full screen on your desktop browser and see for yourself.

From the corner of 7th and Hill Streets in the Jewelry District of Downtown Los Angeles, California.
Seventy-two story U.S. Bank Tower--completed 1989 & designed by architect Henry N. Cobb--looming over L.A. Central Library.
DTLA, in all it's glory, at sunrise. The 110 Freeway cuts through, close to the central core of the city. I am anxiously awaiting the changing of the skyline as new buildings are announced weekly. It's going to be a whole different place in 3-5 years.
Boyle Hotel, built 1880, aka Cummings Block & now an apartment complex, with glimpse of Downtown L.A.
Re-edit of an older pic. Still playing with colorization and tonal values. I don't usually go back to older pics but the folder from this flight has been on my desktop since I they were taken. I really need to print some of these already.
Once in a while you are blessed with just the right set of conditions. It's the being in the right place at the right time kind of scenario. This spectacular sunrise was from a trip to Downtown Los Angeles just a few days after the Mavic 3 had its long-awaited first major firmware update. The one that released pano mode. This update, needless to say, was very much anticipated and very much desired. This would also, as it turned out, be a morning of learning a very valuable lesson in mourning. As the sky was turning these colors, I was snapping away panos. Aiming the lens, this way and that way. Wide-angle shots: Done. 180º shots: Plenty. I was so excited to shoot under these conditions with the new pano settings that I didn't even think to set up even just one regular photo. Smiling, I packed everything up as the show ended and headed home. I have been pretty busy lately, life gets like that sometimes, and I put the files on the computer and re-packed the drone bag for an upcoming trip to Mammoth. Fast forward to being in Mammoth, and for some reason formatting the SD card before shooting there. Loving all of the options that the new firmware had given me and being excited to start playing around with the files. I was back home and on the computer re-visiting the super-sunrise DTLA shots and wondering where the single RAW photos were from pano mode. I think you get where this is going. Long story longer: I now know that the pano shots are kept together in a completely separate folder. Only the merged jpegs are in the main folder. So, to sum up what a dutz I am. What you are looking at is the best single frame photo that I had available as a RAW photo from this morning. There are plenty of beautiful, fully composed, pano shots. In Jpeg. Ouch.

Another shot moments before sunrise in Downtown Los Angeles. Heavy cinematic toning and maybe too much sharpening. It's a little crisp. The vibrancy is impressive. As with most of what has been coming out of the Mavic 3. I have been inspired to be more creative with the color grading. I'm starting to get the hang of it. There's a world of possibilities out there.

After all the press the new 6th street bridge has received this week, I decided to revisit a much older shot of it. This area will forever be nostalgic to me as it played a huge roll in my first few years of living in Los Angeles. This shot required so little editing as the sunset conditions were just so good. That was not, however, my initial take on this when the photo was first put out. But I did a lot of things differently back then. I was honestly a bit underwhelmed with the new bridges designed, and although I haven't yet seen it in person, I'm sure it will grow on me. I called this area my home for a few years and part of me wanted to see it left alone. No individual as any say in progress. I can only hope things get better here for future residents.
A reworked shot from a slightly different angle of a previous post. Downtown Los Angeles from a helicopter at sunset. I still have dozens of pics from this flight that have been sitting on my drive for the last almost year now. This flight was so epic I haven't even thought about going up again. Until recently that is. Such a busy and this close to the Holidays it might as well be after New Years already. C'est la vie.
