iPhone fun in LA with my daughter

I'm just back from a fun week in LA with my daughter.

My 14 year old daughter and I just spent the last week in Los Angeles, CA and had a blast.  We walked a TON, shot a bunch, and just enjoyed the city.  It was great.

We have been talking about doing a Dad-Daughter trip for a long time, but for various reasons we just now got it done.  It was awesome.  We walked and Uber-ed all over LA and had a great time.  We went to museums, shot graffiti, went up to the Griffith Observatory and over to Malibu and the Santa Monica Pier.

Since this was a trip for my daughter (and thus, not for me to shoot a lot), I opted to just bring a single prime lens and no tripod.  I wanted to be able to travel light and shoot fast, even at night.  So everything was quick handheld shots with the lovely combo of my Sony A7ii and my new lens, the Voigtlander 40mm f/1.4 prime lens.  It worked great.  As soon as I have more time with this lens, I will likely write up a review of my experience with it.

I certainly feel like I took some great shots, but readily admit that I haven't even looked at them yet (other than chimping after a shot), since I am writing this from the airport prior to departing LA and heading home. So today's post is all iPhone images, edited in Luminar by Macphun.  It's a killer combo.  Now that I use Luminar on everything, I have also started editing my iPhone shots in it, too.  It works so well.

So this is a quick tour of some of the fun we had and these are in no particular order whatsoever.  We got rained on a bit the first day, but otherwise the weather was just cool enough (high 60's) and I had some nice clouds, too.  As soon as I am able, I will get some LA shots up here from my Sony camera, too.  Enjoy!
