Topic: Technical Exercises
Gaudy Beverly Hills
These are botanical studies, and exercises in getting the color right, and working "close in" with various depth-of-field decisions.
These are from Thursday the 28th, the only sunny day this week. (It's the rainy season in Los Angeles, as February and March are pretty much it out here.)
The location is Beverly Gardens Park, created in 1911 - a narrow, two-mile-long strip of lawns and a few flowerbeds. It runs for fourteen blocks along the northwest side of Santa Monica Boulevard, the complete length of the city of Beverly Hills. It does have a rose garden, and a few stone park benches, a lily pond, fountains, tall trees, a cactus garden, and a gravel path for joggers. The Beverly Hills Police Station is across the street from the small rose garden at Maple Drive. The whole place is more foliage and shade than much in bloom. But there are these.
