The Cafe at the End of the Universe
Made by Sergey Sus
Operated by world-famous Wolfgang Puck, the Cafe is located at the lower level between the Gunther Depths of Space exhibit hall and the Gottlieb Transit Corridor. The Gottlieb Transit Corridor is an accurate outdoor public astronomical instrument built below-grade onto the west side of the Observatory. Its form echoes similar instruments from ancient temples and medieval churches but updates the concept for the 21st century. The instrument has four primary components: 1. Meridian line. A bronze meridian line runs down the center of the glass-walled corridor. It is bounded on the north by stairs to the lawn and on the south by a large, black monolith. The line defines the meridian on the ground while the walls of the corridor flank the celestial meridian in the sky. The stairs and banister are angled to the north pole of the sky. 2. Foil. Mounted at an angle on the top of the monolith, the foil is a thin, curving metal panel containing a six-inch, long-focal-length lens. As the Sun moves across the sky each day, the lens sharpens the Sun's light into a spot that moves across the walls and floor of the corridor. 3. Meridian arc. Centered at the south end of the corridor, a bronze-faced meridian arc displays the meridian line and is inscribed with month and day markings, seasonal and lunar indicators, and constellation figures. The arc is 18 feet long and 13.5 feet high. Each day at local noon, as the Sun passes, the spot of sunlight moves across the meridian on the 7-inch arc and enables visitors to see how the Sun's progress is linked to the calendar. In a modern twist, photoelectric sensors embedded in the meridian arc are activated by the transiting spot of sunlight and send a signal to the ecliptic chart. 4. Ecliptic chart. On the west side of the corridor, a 22-foot-long stainless steel engraved star chart illustrates the Sun's annual path through the background stars and the constellations they occupy. When sunlight strikes the photoelectric sensors on the meridian arc, the signal activates LEDs embedded in the ecliptic chart and lights up the stars of the constellation through which the Sun is passing. In this way, the Sun's light reveals to visitors the unseen sky that is always present but invisible to our view because the Sun is so bright.
There is so much in this world that I do not understand....

~Councillor Harmann: The Matrix Reloaded I was simply experimenting with this. See note below. Download large 1920w x 1080h in pixel. In my mind.... There are many unfair conditions that other human beings have to endure. I don't agree but I know it has always being like that since the beginning of time. It could be the same mechanism for our own long survival. I don't know. But I just hope we all realize the reasons for everything before it's too late. And don't be so quick to blame, stereotype, have prejudices against others and believe everything the so called experts tell us. “Man spends his life in reasoning on the past, in complaining of the present, in fearing future.” ~ Antoine Rivarol Note: -Lens used: 70-200L mm F/2.8 with 1.4 extender (zoom at 200mm for this shot) -It was a long exposure and I simply zoomed in/out the lens few times. -PHOTOSHOP CS4: Color Balance Shadows Color Levels: -47 0 0 Midtones Color Levels: 0 0 +25 Highlights Color Levels: 0 +16 0 _
Griffith Evening
Made by BackFromLeave
A visit to Southern California would not be complete without venturing up to the Griffith Observatory near Los Angeles, atop Mount Hollywood – the observatory is gorgeous in it’s own right, but it also affords an absolutely stunning view of the city that lies beneath. I haven’t had a chance to visit here since before 2002 and the new renovations are beautifully rendered, the place is still free to visit, and the area can take up a whole day to explore. I can already hear the hiking trails beckoning for a trek atop Mt. Hollywood and up to the Hollywood sign. Shot details: 24mm on tripod, 5-exposures at f/13, ISO200 with Nikon D700; Joined in Photomatix, then opened layers in PS5, dodged/masked parts of building, spot healed out some shadows/ghosting, Topaz Adjust for details, high pass filter overlay to foreground/building, LR3: noise reduction to sky, adjust tint, increase recovery, increase vibrance, crop and export. backfromleave.com
Life is for living

I met my flickr friend and her husband James at Grifith Observatory. I like meeting Flickr friends. I never get disappointed and so far Flickr friends are the nicest people. View large. We spent time admiring the city, talking about life in New York and Los Angeles. Later, we ended up at dinner. I was so excited to hear about their fun trip; they were driving the entire state of California. They started in Las Vegas, and ended up in San Francisco. So, what's your next adventure!? And don't be shy to meet me next time you come to Southern California. :) Note: -I simply used a free LightRoom preset called Beauty Pop3.

I don't do many self portraits but I had fun with this one. I did not really do much to this shot other than stack every filter I had in my bag on the lens so I could shoot directly into the sun. I can definitely see why having a remote would be good for people who do a lot self portraits. It would have been helpful to have more than 10 seconds to push the button and run up this mountain and try to look relaxed. The view was amazing and I really like the way the water was reflecting behind the buildings in the distance. Also the natural clouds seem to be in a perfect place drawing my eyes right to the sun. I am leaving the country tonight on a very special trip with my oldest daughter. I'll share with you when I return in a week!
and the world spins madly on.

Nice Lawn

The Griffith Park Observatory....When I showed up here, I noticed a guy with his tripod and set up. He said he was there for an hour...waiting for the right time to shoot. When I left 30 minutes later, he was packing up...he said, he waited too long and missed his chance, but maybe next time. I don't get it......shoot, shoot and shoot some more. When you're finished, go back and shoot some more....It's not film, it's free. And who needs to spend more than 1 minute in the same spot? Click and move on. If Ansel Adams had a DSLR with 25MP and CS5 he would not have sat around in the snow for more than 1 minute either.

Here you can find the according blog-post: Blende 3 From Wikipedia: Griffith Observatory is in Los Angeles, California, United States. Sitting on the south-facing slope of Mount Hollywood in L.A.'s Griffith Park, it commands a view of the Los Angeles Basin, including downtown Los Angeles to the southeast, Hollywood to the south, and the Pacific Ocean to the southwest. The observatory is a popular tourist attraction with an extensive array of space- and science-related displays.

downtown los angeles skyline...
Made by Joits
view on black if you have a long enough lens you can get a really good shot from the observatory. this was taken at 200mm with minimal cropping. one of my photographic goals was to get a really good shot of the downtown buildings and i've sort of managed to fulfill that, i'd like to get a more closer shot of the buildings but finding a good spot that's also safe is hard to find...
I Can See the Light
Made by AJ Brustein
Griffith Park Observatory. Los Angeles. Biggest park in America and coolest view from a park (maybe not the national parks) as well. I took plenty of shots in focus up at the observatory, but liked this one the best. Kinda like the dream of LA and Hollywood. From afar it looks all glamorous and bright, but when you get the chance to zoom in and see the scene up close, it isn't necessarily as dreamy as you expected... ----- Randomness on the most sequential day

Stormy Observatory
Made by photoacumen
A 'vision' of the Griffith Observatory on an incredible and stormy day. I had quite a few photos of the courtyard in front of the observatory taken in the morning on a slightly hazy day with not a cloud in the blue sky. [see other photos nearby in the stream] So off to work on a composite, self-generated lightning and rain, composite clouds, and a very light treatment of 'flood' to get the concrete 'wet'. Hope you enjoy. PSE9, Flaming Pear
Downtown L.A.: Cliché
Made by modenadude
I tried a couple weeks ago to get this L.A. skyline shot from the Griffith Observatory, but the smog was way too overwhelming for a proper photo. So last night, Josue and I went back up the day after all the [random] rain and clouds vacated the city limits. It was so clear last night, it was unbelievable! I'm still not in love with this shot (maybe it's my soft 24-135 Canon lens), but it'll do for now until I get better equipment!
L.A. Á La Bokeh

So enough with the small talk. This is downtown Los Angeles á la bokeh as seen from the awesome Grifith Park Observatory. If you live in California and have not been there, do it. Catch a planetarium show while there. So far, that is the highlight of the trip. Brilliant experience. Oh, the view is not too bad either. Visit me at www.lemmingstone.com
Los Angeles - View from Griffith Observatory 10-08-10
Made by Logans Heros
I went to Griffith Observatory last night to see how I would fare with a few night shots of downtown Los Angeles. These are what I came up with. Obvious tweaking needs to be done, but I'm ok with it for my first attempt. I also had no idea that the park closed at 10PM. I got there around 9:40, so as soon as I was set up, they announced the park was closing . That made it real relaxing. lol

the griffith observatory

view large version my first time back here since 1993. it doesn't look that busy but i got lucky and managed to take a shot with only one or two people in the frame. in actuality it was very busy as a lot of people were there watching that show that they show... can't quite remember the name.
