Los Angeles
Seriously, how big is LA? Up at Griffith Observatory, you can really get a sense of scale. It was pretty smoggy the day I took this (I can only imagine how far you can see if it’s ever clear), but I’m still proud of the sense of scale this has.
Palms
So, what else represents Los Angeles as much as a palm tree against a blue background. Oddly, despite not being my favourite photo, this has done very well on Flickr in terms of comments / appreciation. It may as well start as my first America photo from my 2010 trip. I do like the light – it works very well.
I’ve Got A Plane To Catch
Well, after 9 months of waiting my America 2010 has finally come around. After making it through an extremely slow week, I’m packed, checked in and ready to go. I fly around 4PM tomorrow afternoon and should hopefully arrive in LA at 7.20PM the same day.
Loyal Twitter followers, preserve and stay following – I’ll try my best to occasionally tweet while over there. I’ll be sure to take plenty of photographs (I’ve got 8GB of space waiting). Have a lovely September and be sure to subscribe via RSS / Twitter to receive periodic updates on my blog.
Update 29.12.11 – My camera broke at San Diego Zoo and I ended up buying my first SLR (a D5000). It was the best thing to happen to me.
A Dear Lady
This is the first time I’ve ever captured a ladybird so clearly up close. I love the colour of it and the sheen. It stood out as I walked past on the way home from a local canal.
