Los Angeles diary

[Anirban Halder]

Los Angeles, I visited few weeks back. Short trip was packed to the point that I wonder if I was really there or it was a dream.
Here are few shots, as random as the trip was...

#1. That strange wall art near Santa Monica which didn’t feel like LA at all…


#2. Venice beach: Apart from the cops being there everywhere, I remember the smell of spray paint fumes on …


#2.2


#3. And those warning signs… I remember "not to even think about it"...

(Rancho Palos Verdes)

#4

(Solena Beach)

#5

(Seal beach)


#6. Those birds and the palm trees...


#7.


#8. Night night…


#9. Those rides…


#9.2


#10. And I remember drinking lot of wine…

Great series!
I really like the carousel tea-cup one. It draws me into the swirly motion. 

[Thomas G]

Inspiring. Thanks vor showing.
 My favourites are the 'clock and palm trees' and the 'cup carousel'

[stenrasmussen]

What lens did you use...24mm or something like that?

[Anirban Halder]

Thank you very much Sten and Thomas. Glad you like few of them.

Sten - all of them are shot with Nikon 20/1.8G except #5 to #8 (those were with 50/1.8G)

Good coverage of many sights that we locals have ceased noticing.  The outsider's view is often more interesting.

[Frank Fremerey]

Love your clean look.

Great series, Anirban.  I love those carousel shots !!

The moment I saw the first image for the first time, I thought it was shot in India.  But then I found the colors should not be the ones Indian people would use.  It is indeed a very intriguing series.  Thanks for sharing!

Thank you John, Frank, Armando for kind words.

Thanks Keith. Glad you found them interesting.

Thanks Akira. Now that you mention I see, indeed colours are different that the ones we use in India.

These are fantastic! The graffiti, the black and white wires and birds, then the palm tree, then the long exposure blurry fun park, topped of with shallow depth of field wine...
Lovely

Many thanks Jakov.  (Sorry about late reply).

Very good use of wide angle. Sometimes I feel like after a roller coaster ride when I see these pictures.

Oh Oh 24mm ... that is wide for me, even sometimes ultra wide!
