5th Street & Flower

5th and Flower 5th & Flower, Financial District, Downtown Los Angeles, California, USA

This image was shot on 8/11/09 while riding home on my bike. I just happened to have my camera in my backpack with a tripod strapped to the side…always a good idea!

Nikon D3 DSLR, AF Nikkor 24mm f/2.8D, Manfrotto 3221 tripod, Manfrotto 3265 ball head, white GT Avalanche 2.0 mountain bike.

This is a really clever shot. I like the repeated reflections of the buildings in each of the towers.

I guess you are bike riding again with the price of gas these days.

  Thanks! It was the reflections that drew me in. I waited two hours for the right light, but it was a nice day anyway.
  
  The cheapest gas I can find in downtown LA right now is $4.49/gal. and my 4x SUV gets 14 mpg. The only reason I am not guilt ridden over owning a gas hog like that is I only drive it once a week.

  Thanks Jackie! Shooting in downtown LA is not easy. Security is intense and they do not permit the use of a tripod anywhere. I almost never shoot without a tripod so I have to be very resourceful. 😉
