Photo of the Week
I took this at the rooftop pool of The Standard Hotel in downtown Los Angeles with my Canon SD 800. The wide angle lens really makes a difference here. I’m so glad I held out for this model. The camera was set to manual with a 1600 ISO and a 1 second shutter speed. I set the camera literally at the edge of the rooftop pool, creating the infinity effect. I then turned on the 2 second delay and pressed the shutter. I experimented with a couple of different ISO’s but this one looked the best. The sky was already pretty dark in the east, but this photo was taken looking west, and obviously the winds were calm.
