You Gotta See This: The Best Views in WeHo

Sunset Tower

One of the most wide-sweeping, incredible views is also one of the more exclusive ones. The view from the Sunset Tower is not from a roof but from an enormous balcony that’s wrapped around a penthouse suite. For this view, you’ll either need to book the room — price varies, but think four figures a night — or get invited to a ritzy, exclusive party like the Vanity Fair Oscars soiree.

Not only is this view amazing, it’s expansive; from one side, you can survey the Sunset Strip and the Culver City sideline, from another the greater West Hollywood area and from the third side the L.A. skyline and a WeHo dog park. The balcony wraps around only three sides because the floor consists of two penthouse rooms — the other room features a balcony that wraps around the building’s other half.

Photoshop was ONLY used to create the panoramas. We made the photographs in the late afternoon to get the best saturation of color and tried to catch sunsets when possible. A grad filter was used to prevent blown out skies and darken them up. Other photos were contrast balanced in Lightroom so you could see more detail in the shadow areas. We had a lot of skyline to cover with quite a variation in the sky. The sky was pretty clear and very blue on the days we were shooting. Go out and shoot on a clear day and show… Read more »

Why did you guys add SO MUCH blue to the photos. They are smothered in blue and that is a photoshop thing, not the way the scenes look in real life. Some people just go crazy with the photoshop.
