Looking Up at Hollywood Park

I went to Hollywood Park Casino for horse racing over the Belmont Stakes weekend.  The place was filled with patrons glaring upwards towards the TV screens watching horse racing from around the country hoping they picked the winners.  I am looking forward to building on this theme.

Pier Walking

Photos from a brief walk on the Santa Monica Pier with my new camera.  I picked up an used Canon 1D Mark III last week.  Love the camera so far.  One of the biggest difference between the new beauty and my old 7D is crop factor.  The 1D has a 1.3x crop vs 1.6x crop.  I love have the “extra” frame.
