Los Angeles is arguably one of the most photogenic cities in the world. We want to share this guide with those who want to visit Southern California and are willing to dedicate some time exploring the city.
There are many interesting spots to capture the sunset in the South Bay. Today I went to the Palos Verdes Peninsula again but it was my first time photographing from the area called the San Ramon Reserve.
I took photos and video footage of flowers using an action camera with an external macro lens. I aimed to see if this setup could provide me with professional results.
Ela Park is located in Lincoln Heights, a suburb that is 100% Hispanic therefore good Mexican food is available everywhere. From juicy burritos to crunchy tacos and grilled chicken with lots of garlic, East L.A. is the place for all your spicy cravings.
What a cold & windy winter we have had in Los Angeles this year! Strong winds clear the air from dust and smog, which is good for panoramic time-lapse photography.
We are always looking for new stuff to test and improve our footage. This time I tested a macro lens adapter that can be attached to an action camera.
This afternoon I went to one of the most popular spots for hiking and relaxing in the entire Los Angeles Metropolitan area, which is Runyon Canyon Park located in the Hollywood Hills.
This is our second video of the surface of the moon. We went a little farther with the zoom to capture as many details as we could. This is not a time-lapse video but a photography animation using a digital zoom option
Today was a day for car enthusiasts in Los Angeles. The annual Downtown Burbank Car Classic Show was a hit. Lots of people, amazing atmosphere, cool cars, music and a wide variety of food from local restaurants.
I have to start by saying that this premiere was both scary and obscure from the audience’s perspective. I arrived earlier than usual and could walk around to scout for the best spots to take photos and record videos from.
July 20th, 2019 marked the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon Landing, an event that changed the world forever. Just a month before the Woodstock Music Festival that attracted more than 500,000 people here on Earth, astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin became the first humans to set foot on the Moon. It …
Today I went to the Hollywood Boulevard to document another movie premiere. This time the cast of the Fast & Furious spin-off Hobbs & Shaw took the spot light.
It was a hot summer afternoon with temperatures above 90 degrees Fahrenheit. I arrived an hour before the event and the boulevard was already packed with movie fans waiting for their favorite actors to get photos and autographs.
Every Los Angeles suburb has practically a piece of history attached to it and Pasadena is not an exception. Today I went to explore that city for photogenic spots and stopped by the Casa Grande neighborhood where Edward and Alex Van Halen grew up and formed their band.
On my way to Twenty Nine Palms I stopped by a wind farm located in North Palm Springs for a quick time-lapse photo sequence as the scenery of those giant turbines and the clouds was irresistible; then I drove to the Sky’s The Limit Observatory and Nature Center before getting into Joshua Tree. There was a special event for astronomy enthusiasts open to the general public at the observatory.
This was my third year in a row helping the Friends of The L.A. River organization to document their clean-up.
It is unbelievable the amount of trash volunteers collect every time they are called to participate in these events. I have seen mattresses, personal computers, shopping carts, televisions, clothes, and car parts, just to name a few things that nobody would expect to find near the river.
This has been our first short trip to Boston, Massachusetts. Every time I plan for a trip to a new city I usually spend a significant amount of time doing research about where to capture the skyline and the availability of public transportation. I also make a list of public parks with nice views and the hours they are open so I go straight to the point when I arrive. The weather was fine the first day but we had to deal with temperatures dropping overnight for the rest of our stay.
This year Randy had the opportunity to visit Mexico several times. The photo sequences from México City and Quintana Roo are unbelievable. The Mexican culture is so rich and eclectic that I would recommend everyone to visit that country at least 5 times. I have been to Baja California only, which is so easy for me because I live just a few hours from the border crossing but I will talk about that in the future.
This month Randy took the camera out to capture sunsets in this beautiful city. The weather has been almost perfect in August. Long days and colorful skies after 6 pm. We are constantly working on creating new material for our Québec Deluxe time-lapse photography project.
Today has been the busiest day for Randy and myself in New York City. I started capturing the clouds over midtown from Brooklyn’s Greenpoint and Randy went to Central Park and surrounding areas.
