A few weeks ago I posted pictures from a #streetmeetla photo shoot down in San Pedro. Well, they had another one, this time at San Gabriel Valley Airport in El Monte. The theme was VW's and airplanes(being that it was at an airport, kinda makes sense). I drove alone since I didn't hear anything from my colleague, but just after I arrived, he showed up with a model I'd shot a couple of times before. Quite a few photographer brought their own lighting equipment, but being that it was outdoors(and I don't have any), I just had my cameras. Basically the way this shoot worked it that the models(there were both male and female models) would stand by a plane or a VW and do their thing and the photographers would snap away. I think I got some really good pictures at this shoot. After the shoot I started home and figured I'd stop by Mission San Gabriel since it was close by and the IR pictures I shoot 3 years ago sucked. I headed home from the mission fed and walked my girls and then it was off to The Huntington for their evening strolls for members.
On a personal note:
This will be my second to last regular post here at 'On The Road', I had hoped to supplement my income by selling my pictures but I've only had 3 sales. I'll close up BillinGlendale.com next April(I think I'm paid up though then) and get regular employment. I'd like to thank all of you for your kind comments and encouragement. My next and last submission will be a good one, stay tuned.

Sunset at the Chinese Garden
After my return from the airport and mission, I processed some of my photos and fed and walked my girls. Then it was off to the Huntington for the Evening Stroll. My goal was to attempt to get a good sunset in the Chinese Garden. I spent most of my time between the Chinese and Japanese gardens making sure to be in the Chinese Garden for sunset and the garden's closing. While the clouds had dissipated from earlier in the day, there were still sufficient cloud cover to provide a colorful sunset. This shot is the combined result of 5 shots taken with exposure bracketing and processed with HDR software.
