Wednesday, October 14, 2009 – Hollywood Rain

Ah, Hollywood in the rain, a location manager's dream. Here's the Barnsdall Art Park, on the east end of Hollywood Boulevard –

And as locations go, this one comes with a Frank Lloyd Wright house –

But what's that on the next hill? Yep, the observatory where they shot the final scenes of Rebel Without a Cause –

Up at the observatory, the bust of the star of that movie – James Dean in the rain – very moody –

If you wish to use any of these photos for commercial purposes I assume you'll discuss that with me. And should you choose to download any of these images and use them invoking the "fair use" provisions of the Copyright Act of 1976, please provide credit, and, on the web, a link back to this site.

Technical Note:

These photographs were taken with a Nikon D200 – the lenses used were AF-S Nikkor 18-70 mm 1:35-4.5G ED, or AF Nikkor 70-300 mm telephoto.  The high-resolution photography here was modified for web posting using Adobe Photoshop 7.0 software.
