Here is an idea" who can get the best grimy, gothic, noirish, photos of LA? Add some style to the photos now. Even enhanced I photoshop. Guess it could be a separate thread.

Challenge taken. It's raining right now. I'm going to jump on my bicycle and get some nasty, wet, sleazy photos on up in here...

Well, don't hold me to that. I have one of those giant, oil-can-sized Asahis in front of me and it's giving me a nasty look.

In the meantime... these are from a few nights ago.

Compression from uploading them to Facebook kind of kills it. I should get a better camera, too (I'm using a Nikon Coolpix).

Alright... so, true to form and a man of my word, I went ahead and rode out to get some cool pictures. I planned on going all the way downtown, but the rain started in again pretty good. After 2am, the clubs closed and everyone headed home; nearly got nailed by a few drunken blowhards, so I called it a night and turned around.

Here are some of the pictures I liked the most. I made them sepia tone and messed with the exposure to make them more noir-ish, though the color versions of a few of them are actually pretty good if I may say so.

^I like how in this one, you can see my shadow, and for whatever reason, I look like I'm made of blocks.

Nice nice nice. I love going to downtown during a cloudy day. Makes it feel New York-ish..

Still, I got a new iphone, want to take pics with it after seen a vid of someone getting their iphone snatched, I fear even exposing it.

Careful on the Boulevard when it is raining! That mess is slippery! Great pics by the way.


Chicano3000X, I think those pics are of Century City.

415, these are all great!! I particularly like the Doheny Drive pic and the one just after it, and the second Fonda theater pic, but all are great, really have a great sense of atmosphere.
