L.A. Photogathering pics

[Photo-John]

A couple of Olivera Street souvenir photos. The first is a bunch of Mexican wrestling masks. The second I like especially because of Ray's photo which is co different. One of the best things about a gathering like this is to see how differently we all perceive and photograph the same places and things.

Great shots Eric & John! And I hope you have more to share. Eric, I should have told you to set your flash to +1, that way your shot would have been totally blown out so that your photo of the lanterns wouldn't look better than mine, haha.

John, I love the picture of Eric at Union Station. You caught that motion blur perfectly while keeping Eric in focus. Did anybody get shots of the models that were there? I got one but I'll save it for later after others have posted. As for the preacher, I had a great converstation with this sweet, old fellow, and encouraged him to keep at it! He didn't want his pic taken at first, but I explained to him who I was (a preacher also) and why I was there (taking a break from it all with my pcphotoREVIEW.com friends). After that he seemed quite okay with it.

Jaedon, on that bus shot I set my 550EX flash to multi mode at 1/125th. I don't even think I've read yet in my manual what this mode is for, LOL. (But I will now!) I just wanted to see what would happen. It was an experiment that kind of turned out a real neat effect on the bus.

Can't wait for some of the others to post their pictures!

That's funny. I like your version better. We should trade!

This shot got me in trouble with the spouse. She got mad at me for not buying a wrestling mask for my kid! Go figure!

Cool shots PJ! Glad you liked our Downtown run.
