Interesting article! How else does one keep out the rift-raft? Keep the poor where they belong, outside of San Marino. I say raise the fee each year.

you shouldn’t need a filter. if you used a film camera i would recommend using fuji astia slide film. also, the smaller aperture will of course darken the night sky. pardon my capitalization, i am typing this on my phone. btw i love your blog.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the suggestion. I was wondering why the blue or reddish tints kept appearing and I guess a filter + proper aperture would have helped.

I could not afford the $4 entrance fee because it was already spent at Starbucks. As you can see from the photos, I resorted to viewing the spectacle from Huntington Drive.

Did you pay your entrance fee?

Nice photos. Next time you may want to shrink the aperture 1 to 2 stops, so that you would get better color (those look a bit overexposed).
