No Pants Metro Ride ’15 Photos

That, was a good day. I was the ride captain for the Culver City group riding on the expo line. Basically my job was to help people get their passes, to make sure they get on the train, and answer any questions they had. I had a pretty big group with me so that was fun. After we all got on the train we then went to Union Station were all groups from each line converged. After being there for a half hour it was time to start heading to the red line for the final leg of our journey to Hollywood where we flooded the street with our pantsless glory. We then went to near by bar along hollywood blvd, Loaded, and had ourselves a nice little after party. By the time I left most of the people inside had their pants on.

While on my way back home I found a few other people waiting for the train back that had already repantsed by then, and so did I.

I have to say, that was a good first event for the new camera.

Testing Shots

While playing with the picture setting on my camera I found something I like. Something about me is that despite the darkness within, I see the world as bright and colorful, and I wish to show that to the world in my photos. So I have the setting on photo style to reflect that as much as I can with my camera to have high sharpness, contrast, saturation, and color tone.

After some playing around these three I found myself liking most with the sharpness, contrast and color tone to the max, but the saturation is at the low, middle, and high end on each photo because I felt the very high looked like a bit much. I guess more experimentation needs to be done.

First photo

On my new 70D, it looks nice. Afterwards I played with some of the setting to get the style and look I’m after on my photos. And the best part of this photo is that this is the box my camera and everything else came in.

The Countdown

I got a few photos of this. I wish I started firing before it said five but I clearly didn’t. Still pretty cool.

Recording the Action

Last night I was in at grand park in downtown LA for the New Years Eve event happening. On the city hall building they had some interesting motion light display happening on the center tower. It was like watching video on a building and was very cool how they pulled it off. I guess LA now has its place to be for a new years event, finally. Here is some video another person recorded from that night. I have to say, seeing that for myself was very cool.

What I got…

Well, the cat I already had, but it’s the box that she is playing with that shows. I got a new pair of headphone with Boba Fett related design on them. They are really loud, and that’s nice because it kind of sucks that sometimes I can still hear other people around me when I’m on the subway or whatever. Don’t want that.

You got me right?

Friday I was at a party, taking place at a store in Studio City. Anniversary party. I was asked to take some photos and after it was over to send a copy first before they came online. I didn’t get many but here is one of them. They had some really nice lights set up in the store.

LA SantaCon ’14 Photos

Wow what a ride. We started off the day in Hollywood going to Cat & Fiddle, now sadly enough is going to have it’s last day and closing on the 15th. So if possible make a trip over while you can. And it has a nice outdoor eating area to. Right now they are looking for a new location so best of luck to them. The next location we went to was 3Dog Cantina, still in hollywood. It had some nice, big windows that were also open, so you can sit on the ledge just outside and talk to the people sitting right in front.

After hanging there awhile we went to the subway to the next place of interest, Barnsdall Art Park, where we had santa throwing frisbees at each other, and then the snow balls came. There was some other stuff going on there to with some of the santa, but I didn’t check that out since the snowball thing was going on, and I still had some good lighting outside. Next we went to Rockwell nearby. Had photos of myself and a few other people taken in a Photo Booth. Did not see that coming. One of the guys there should be getting them on his phone and putting them online so when I get them I might put them up here.

The last location I was at was The Continental. We were supposed to go to another spot but they wouldn’t allow people e to come in with bags or anything else as the such. Whatever. But before that a bunch of us walked around Pershing Square where many people there all wanted photos of us. Exciting. After many of the santas split off to different bars, I was having some trouble finding anything, and I was tired. I enjoyed my day, starting with the party at 11 and conquering till so late at night. Always a lot of fun.

Now I am ready to say goodbye to this year.
