Here’s the pathetic story about these photos. I was on my way from Austin, Texas to the island of Rarotonga in the Cook Islands. Naturally, the flight was late leaving Austin, so I missed my connection. There I was stuck in L.A., at the Airport Hilton at that, waiting for the next flight out. I’ve been to L.A. a number of times and couldn’t think of anything I wanted to do. The Airport Hilton is actually a very nice hotel, but its location sucks. What to do?

Of all things, I took a “L.A. at Night” bus tour. Many of the photos in this gallery were taken through the window of the tour bus. The others were all hand held. Although not technically perfect, I think they are examples of the benefit of high ISO capability, coupled with image stabilization.

I hope you enjoy the bus tour.

I did eventually make it to Rarotonga. If you are interested in seeing photos of this beautiful South Sea Island, visit: https://pbase.com/johnchandler/rarotonga.
