Anyway, I wanted a small unobtrusive camera to play around with when I go backpacking or on vacation. It was recommended to me by Mike, our resident pro photographer. It seems to fit the bill. These were my very first set of photos taken about a month ago.
I was out and about running some errands when I noticed the low ominous clouds overhead. I rushed over to Griffith Park and went up my typical trail. I got very lucky with the cloud formation and the time of day. These clouds were so unusual for LA that it completely change the way I view the landscape. So far I am quite pleased with my new little purchase. I have been taking alot of pictures lately and I will post more soon.

Love 'em.
Those first couple don't even look real. Amazing.
Beautiful Rich!
thanks guys. two of my favorite things to do (hiking and photography) all rolled into one.
olga- yes, I too love stormy weather. That day was surreal.
Dave-You have a Lumix as well? good taste.
Elizabeth-the trail is in Griffith park and it's actually called the Razorback trail. The 'peak' is Mt. Hollywood.
Dorota- thank you. Hope you are having fun on your travels.
Vince- thanks buddy. How's Brooklyn? hurry back, someone needs to neutralized Eddie.
Sam- I used a gradated neutral density filter to cut down the brightness of the sky by a stop or two so I can keep the exposure for the foreground. Then I burned in the sky even a little more in post. too much info, huh.
Miss Aoyama- uh...thanks.
These are really great. Where is this trail?
Thanks danielle...it's griffith park, Mt. Hollywood.
dannnngggggggg foooo! Man these are really good pics! The first 2 with those crazy clouds almost look photoshopped. As if the clouds were added. Right time, at the right place. Cool stuff!
thanks, Zoro.
it's like you walked the trails that took you from the Shire to Mordor...and inevitably Mount Doom!
I'm going to have to make Tuesday Night hikes one of these Tuesdays that I'm off of basketball.
Great pics!
Fat Brick...I have the same point and shoot as you (I think) however, your pictures are so amazing! great pictures...I guess that's what happens when you actually have talent. good job.
Rich, these are totally dope! Glad to see you kickin' the photography into high gear again! ; )
By the way, where were these taken? And what kind of camera did you use?
WOW!!!! These are very strong and beautiful photographs. You know if you ever get bored with character art and design I don't think you would have a problem making money in the photo field. Awesome stuff my friend!
