Shadows at Griffith Observatory, in August. Shot with Sony a6000 and Rokinon 12mm wide angle lens. I know which shadow is me taking the picture but I’m curious if other people can tell?
Griffith Observatory
Southern California’s gateway to the cosmos! Visitors can look through telescopes, explore exhibits, see live shows in the Samuel Oschin Planetarium, and enjoy spectacular views of Los Angeles and the Hollywood Sign
One time I was happy to have the hacked firmware on my 300D -- ISO 3200 came in handy as I had to do this handheld in very little light and no image stabilization.
Fisheye lens, but the smaller 300D sensor mutes that effect.
The Foucault Pendulum at Griffith Observatory, in August. Shot with Sony a6000 and Rokinon 12mm wide angle lens.
I find this shot interesting with the clouds, the sun trying to break through and the statue. I also like the unique colors.
Griffith Observatory: The Observatory is the highlight of Griffith J. Griffith's contribution to Los Angeles. The construction of this art deco observatory was completed in the early 1930s and has since undergone a major renovation which has enameled it as one of Southern California's most popular landmarks. The Observatory's state-of-the-art Samuel Oschin Planetarium blasts off amazing light shows providing a visual feast for the eyes. Notwithstanding the new technology, simply walk outside and the observatory which provides outstanding views of the area during both day and night. Anyone even vaguely interested in astronomy will find the exhibits and planetarium shows fascinating. Griffith Observatory is of interest to film fans because it was the site of the unforgettable climax of Rebel Without a Cause starring James Dean.
I am sure hundreds of thousands of visitors have taken a photo from this exact spot at the Griffith Observatory. Every time I come here I still can't resist taking another photo of the view. I am planning to hide in the back and come out after the observatory closes. Then I can stay up all night looking at the lights and dream of visiting distant galaxies.
