Cover Shot!


Nikon D100, Tamron 24-135mm
This photo of mine was selected to be the cover shot on the next SF Elections Voter Information Pamphlet.
Gail and I had a friendly competition to see whose picture would be chosen by the Elections Dept. staff. We went out one afternoon specifically to shoot some typically San Francisco scenes.
We chose a handful of pictures to submit, and this was their favorite.

Forgot to mention: The main challenge was to make a picture that represents San Francisco yet does not make any political or social statements. Some of the choices were thrown out because of that.

Very nice Warren! I'd love to see some of those that didn't pass the filters.

Wow congrats! That's awesome :)

It's ironic to have tropical trees surrounding the ice rink! Looks like a beautiful day to be out!! It has been a strange winter for me, as it is the first time for me to not see snow for the holidays that lasts the entire winter! ... but I could definitely get used to it :D lol

Happy Holidays!
**cheers**

Lol, yes but everyone's holding a Camera, wouldn't the Asian tourist be handing the camera to a bystander to take the photo?? ;)

Eric & Benson (and others), go to Ted's blog and check out the sample picture from his Noctilux f1.0, it's incredible. Another thing, go to Rangefinderforum's classified section. Ted is selling both his Noct and his 75mm. The prices that the Leica M equipment command are mind boggling. Still a bit too rich for my blood even after all these years (and it seems to be getting worse). Actually, after handling Mike's Barnack Leica, I think I prefer the ergonomics of the little screw mount Leicas over the M. Of course, that opinion may change if I ever have a chance to own an M. If I were to buy one someday, it would likely be a M2.

Somebody please post a picture of Mike and Ted from that day. I might have a couple of shots from my Bessa, but I have not finished the roll yet.

Fog!

Taken while driving north of Seattle, WA.



I thought the horizontal depths in the background were kind of cool... Mountains, fog, trees. And the foreground continues these seemingly paralell lines. Roadside views are very interesting sometimes :)

Nice one, Lea!

I like the subtle colors and multi-layered subject.

Great photo Lea, I take a lot of these types of photos, but I can tell from the scenery it is more from the west side of WA state.

Nice shot, Lea. The fog in the background really makes the scene pop out.

Yes it is indeed western WA, what a beautiful state :D
