Christopher Nolan's "Dark Knight Rises" was released on this day, July 20, 2012...

So I thought you might like to see more 3-D photos I took from the downtown Los Angeles location sets of Anne Hathaway and Christian Bale filming in costume as Catwoman and Batman and also as Selina Kile and Bruce Wayne.

These scenes in the Batman & Catwoman suits were shot in the streets and tunnels that run underneath Grand Ave in downtown L.A.. 

The road was blocked off, but I found a vantage point by cutting a hole in the wind-blocking tarp hanging on a chain link fence. Other guys with way better lenses got much better shots that day than I did, but I was still quite thrilled to get shots of Batman & Catwoman as if I was a photojornalist in Gotham City.

This was one of my craziest days in my early career as a paparazzo. Christopher Nolan was filming the third installment of his Batman franchise in downtown Los Angeles. In a rare move, the streets and sidewalks where the crew was filming were not completely blocked off. They would only lock down during the take when cameras were ready to roll. There were several paps around, endlessly circling the block, hoping to get lucky. But the crew was watching out for paps before they would call "action" and would block those they saw.

That wasn't working out for me, so I had to switch strategies.

The local businesses were open, so I went into the jewelry shop across the street from where they were filming and bribed the owner to let me sit behind the counter like I was working there... and for just $10, he let me do it for like an hour. I would keep the camera hidden until they would lock down the set, at which point all of the crew were scanning the sidewalks, looking for paps, but they never thought to look behind them and see me shooting!

I got great exclusive shots of Anne Hathaway, in character as Selina Kyle, exiting her apartment and getting into a cab. 

Then I noticed Christan Bale, (dressed as Bruce Wayne) and it looked like he spotted me, but either he didn't see me with the sun in his eyes and me in the shade of the store just like the one seen behind him in the photo, or maybe he didn't mind and didn't rat me out to the crew.
