"The photo was taken at Tang's Donuts on Sunset Boulevard in Silver Lake back when the place would be filled with all kinds of people and the games would last all night long — literally. Some of these guys would play until the following day, go home and then come back that night to play again." — photographer Shawn Nee

"Spotted this guy on my ride home from work, just off Avenue 20 in Lincoln Heights. No idea how he got there, or why he was there. Or if he was responsible for the graffiti." -- Photographer Sahra Suleiman

"The exposure was about 12 seconds @ f/8, ISO200. Longer than that, the stairs get a bit blurry. Frankly I was surprised that they showed, I really only was aiming for a panoramic stitch of the cityscape, but lo and behold, the stars registered quite well on the sensor. This is with a 5DII and TS-E 24mm II but it could be taken with virtually any wide angle lens, @ f/2, as long as it has the fairly good low-light performance of the Canon 5DII. It is the best (digital) camera I have ever owned. And, in spite of budget cuts, Griffith Observatory and the related grounds at the park -- they are still open to the public most days, and always past sunset. It is one of my favorite places in Los Angeles, hands down." - Photographer Greg Keating (Flickr user "sirimiri")

"This is right off of the cliffs of La Jolla San Diego right when the sun was setting. I kept seeing them jumping then soaring off the cliffs and had to stop and take some photographs." -- Photographer Brett Sobel
