This is a beautiful video by Gavin Heffernan, made from several mesmerizing time-lapse shoots of the Los Angeles cityscape captured on Canon EOS 6D DSLR cameras.
As I watched it, marveling at its visual beauty, I was struck by its fantastic score, how quintessentially L.A. it seemed with its sounds of rushing traffic and echoes of helicopters criss-crossing overhead, and also how very Michael Mann-esque it seemed, too.
