Hollywood Bowl Panoramiqueado

utterli-image
Hace años, para ser exactos el domingo 13 de Junio del 2004, andaba echando un rol con unos amigos que tenia pocos meses de haber llegado del DeFe, dimos un rol por varios lados de la ciudad y terminamos la tarde en el Hollywood Bowl tomando fotos, en aquel ayer estaba obsesionado y me la pasaba tomando fotos panoramicas, todo lo que veía le tomaba fotos pensando en armar un panorma con un software chidísimo (el cual ya no existe, aunque ahora hay otras versiones similares para crear panoramas).



Pasamos la tarde super chido en la platica, esa tarde llegué a mi casa a jugar y logré esta panorámica del Hollywood Bowl, años más tarde, osea hoy, revisando archivos me encontré esa foto y la he agregado a mi set de panorámas que tengo en Flickr, echense un clavado aquí: http://www.flickr.com/…210990210/ y si tienen ganas me dejan un rayón.

March for the Immigrants Rights

utterli-image
On May 1st 08, I was off a plane from NY to Long Beach, slept couple of hrs, recharged my batteries and headed to downtown LA early in the morning where thousands of people were marching for the Immigrants Rights.



We walked from McArthur Park to LA City Hall, it was a hot but memorable day, here are some of the photographs I took that day, some in digital some in film using my fisheye2 camera.

Coyote near Red Rock, Sedona, AZ

- Last december went with my friends on a very cool trip to Sedon Arizona, that morning woke up around 5 am to get a few shots of the sun rising, we set the cameras and waited, a few feet from our spot we saw this coyote waiting as if he was about to hunt, in seconds switched to my 200mm lens and fire this shot.

Later I opened the image in lighroom and enhanced some of the colors.
