I shot another time lapse yesterday, this one went for nearly a full 24 hour period. I'm starting to get the hang of this whole time lapse thing. This time I shot 3 bracketed frames during the day every 60 seconds. Then when the sun set I just went to single exposures. My favorite part is when the sun sets and reflects off a glass building. Make sure you view this in HD, preferable 1080p full screen:
Last weekend, Penelope and I took our second Secret Stairs hike together. This time we hiked through the hills of Silver Lake. I fell in love with the neighborhood, it was so beautiful. If we don't end up buying a house in the Pasadena area, we will likely buy in Silver Lake. Here are a few photos from the hike: [](https://eecue.com/p/32367/Yellow-House-in-Silver-Lake.html "Yellow House in Silver Lake") #### [Yellow House in Silver Lake](https://eecue.com/p/32367/Yellow-House-in-Silver-Lake.html) [](https://eecue.com/p/32368/Spanish-Style-House-in-Silver-Lake.html "Spanish Style House in Silver Lake") #### [Spanish Style House in Silver Lake](https://eecue.com/p/32368/Spanish-Style-House-in-Silver-Lake.html) [](https://eecue.com/p/32369/Silver-Lake-Reservoir.html "Silver Lake Reservoir") #### [Silver Lake Reservoir](https://eecue.com/p/32369/Silver-Lake-Reservoir.html)
This weekend I marveled at the beautiful clouds above Downtown Los Angeles. I decided to shoot an HDR time lapse using my 5D Mark II. Here are the results, make sure you select at least 720p, 1080p for full screen HD goodness:
Last weekend Penelope and I went on an interesting urban hike through a series of hidden staircases in Montecito Heights. We found the hike in an awesome book gifted to us by Pen's mom called [*Secret Stairs: A walking Guide to the Historic Staircases of Los Angeles*](http://www.amazon.com/Secret-Stairs-Walking-Historic-Staircases/dp/1595800506) by Charles Fleming. The book is packed with hikes in different LA neighborhoods that take the reader up and down a series of staircases hidden away in plain sight. We really enjoyed our first hike through Montecito Heights. I dragged along my camera and tripod and made some HDR photographs: ### [Secret Stairways Montecito Heights](https://eecue.com/a/1610/Secret-Stairways-Montecito-Heights.html) [](https://eecue.com/p/32363/Fallen-Stairs.html "Fallen Stairs") #### [Fallen Stairs](https://eecue.com/p/32363/Fallen-Stairs.html) [](https://eecue.com/p/32366/Purple-Flowers--Billboard-and-Abandoned-Mechanic.html "Purple Flowers, Billboard and Abandoned Mechanic") #### [Purple Flowers, Billboard and Abandoned Mechanic](https://eecue.com/p/32366/Purple-Flowers--Billboard-and-Abandoned-Mechanic.html) [](https://eecue.com/p/32361/Downtown-Los-Angeles-From-Montecito-Heights.html "Downtown Los Angeles From Montecito Heights") #### [Downtown Los Angeles From Montecito Heights](https://eecue.com/p/32361/Downtown-Los-Angeles-From-Montecito-Heights.html)
