Yesterday evening, a bunch of us photographers got on a bus and were driven to the Griffith Observatory. [View all]

The folks at Paul's Photo call these "walkabouts." And wow, did we walk! Almost 2 hours worth.

I got a few photos. I also realized that my nighttime skills need a lot of work! These have some merit and I hope you'll enjoy them. They were all taken with my Olympus Mark IV camera and the 12-45mm Pro lens.
