Critique Welcomed LA Coliseum

[Chris Dodkin]

I had a meetring today at the LA Coliseum, home of the 1984 Summer Olympics.

Very imposing main gate - still showing the Olympic rings

Fantastic place. Played a game of fitba in there once or maybe twice. Home of the '32 Olympics first, though. That's what it was built for I believe. (I'm pretty sure it was '32.)

Ah, swmbo only mentioned going to the '84 games - not sure she was around for the festivities in '32!

Very nice again Chris. And what a smooth sky!

Nice composition...were you sitting on the ground?

Hadn't you heard, he's a 2' 6" tall alien Glenn. He's probably on his tiptoes!

Thanks Pete - a rare clear air day in LA - we pretty much only see these during the winter season, or maybe during the occasional Santa Ana weather pattern

I need to go back in the early am, and get the sun on the buildings.

Thanks Glenn - I think

Nope, standing up as normal, but with the super wide lens I was in close and hence looking up, giving a real perspective lean to everything
