GG Park/Stow Lake Series with Nikon L35 AF

Nikon L35AF

The following three pictures were taken at the Golden Gate Park Stables. The facility has been closed since 2001, and is awaiting restoration. I try to come here every morning to practice my Tai Chi.





I don't understand how people can be so inconsiderate and simply leave garbage in the park like this.



The following pictures were taken on a cool winter morning at Stow Lake.



Red blossoms in winter? I wonder what kind of tree this is.



A nice stone bridge connecting Strawberry Hill (island) to the rest of the park.







Here's the familiar Golden Gate Pavilion. it's located on Strawberry Island. You'll see it up close in the following series of pictures. The pavilion is a friendship gift from San Franciso's sister city of Taipei, Taiwan.













Huntington Falls on Strawberry Island. You may recall a wonderful picture that Martin posted a while back that featured this falls.

So, what do you all think? Not bad for a 22 year old, (supposedly) obsolete, point & shoot film camera, eh? :D

Actually, I think calling this camera a P&S is not really accurate. I think it's more accurately called a compact, automated 35mm, fixed lens camera. You can't really just "point and shoot" because you still need to understand how to set focus using the focusing brackets in the viewfinder, then recompose the shot while holding focus. This simple little technique is often overlooked by novice or casual shooters which usually results in out of focus pictures. When used correctly, this classic gem is capable of amazing results.
