Starlight in Downtown Los Angeles – Stuck in Customs

Photo of the Day – Starlight in Downtown Los Angeles

I’ve been to downtown LA many times, and there are lots of great angles, but I think this one is one of the best. However, there are many waiting. I have to wait for big buses to pass me on either side so I can set up a long exposure.

Normally, I would take 5 exposures in this situation, but I did something a little special. I’ll be taking faster exposures soon (1 or 2 seconds usually). And then I’ll stop and wait for the bus or something before taking a longer exposure. I did an HDR then covered the backlight from the photo where I got the best traces.
