Downtown L.A.

The well known travel photographer Serge Ramelli hosted a 500px photowalk last weekend up on Los Angeles at the Griffith Observatory. Ever since I watched the Terminator Genisys movie, I've been wanted to know where to capture this shot from. Serge took all of us on a long hike into the Hollywood Hills, way above the Griffith Observatory to showed us this fantastic vantage point to photograph the city from.

 

I needed my long telephoto lens for this shot. Even though everything looks very close up, we were actually quite far from the Griffith Observatory. I zoomed in to 145mm and used a 30 second shutter speed to get everything exposed properly.
