The evening looked promising, so I loaded my mountain bike into my truck 
along with my camera gear and drove to Coyote Hills. 

It's a couple of miles of riding to get to this location, mostly on paved 
paths or roads.

By the time I got to my location, it was fairly dark, windy and cold.

The wind was such that I needed to use my camera pack, hanging off the center 
column of my tripod to stablize it.

I needed to increase the exposure plus use fill lighting in Adobe Camera Raw 
processor to open up the shadows.

During my visit to So. Cal., my good friends David
and Natalie drove me around downtown L.A. to scout out
locations for downtown L.A. skyline shots.  We chose the 
6th Street bridge. 

The 6th Street bridge is one of several historical bridges
that traverse the mythical Los Angeles River.  The 6th Street 
Bridge was built in 1932/33. 

The light was changing fast, so David stopped the car on 
the bridge and dropped me off so I could setup.

I actually enjoyed shooting the bridge rather than
the skyline.  

Many thanks to David and Natalie for indulging my 
hobby.

Front lit by moonlight supplemented with spot light pointed to the ground
to cast a wider light.
