View from San Bruno Mountain


Not the most spectacular image but a different perspective on a familiar scene. This was taken on San Bruno Mountain which is south of San Francisco. I was up there to take pictures of "Flat Stanley" for my cousin's daughter.

Pretty cool view from up there! What is Flat Stanley??

Interestingly, this view is very similar to the view from Twin Peaks in S.F., which is many miles north of this position :).

Nice photo Benson! I often see the view about 30-45 degrees to the R, and down lower from where I am in SB, but I can tell where you took this one.

Flat Stanley is a kids character (in books at least). My daughter wrote a book based on Flat Stanley called "Flat Stanley goes to Japan" a couple of years ago.

Fortune

There is a lot going on in this picture. What do you think? Does it do anything for you?

It makes me squint and try to see through the reflections :)

Maybe a bit too much going on for me. What did you have in mind when you took it?

Blogger Warren T. said...

Thanks for the good feedback :).

The thing that caught my attention was the bright, neon fortune cookie. It "should" be the main subject, but as you say, perhaps there is too much background detail and/or the neon sign is not dominant enough in the composition.

--WT

Blogger Benson said...

Warren, I can see your point about the neon sign. It looks very unusual. I can't say I've seen a neon fortune cookie sign before. However, the picture is too busy with the reflection and the stuff in the store.

Sign in Millbrae

I had coffee in Millbrae this morning. These signs were all over the small downtown area parallel to El Camino Real, but I didn't see any events or parade, just a lot of these signs (several dozen) - however, the restaurants seemed to be filled, so the food must be pretty good around here.

I noticed that the Search feature actually works now! You can search on keywords within our forum. Try it, it works great.

I also noticed that on the last few posted pictures on the new Blogger, we no longer have automatic resizing when we click to see the full-sized image. Because of this, you should really try to resize your pictures to no larger than 700 to 800 pixels wide on the long side. This makes it easier to view the whole image on a browser's screen without having to scroll.

Atlantis in the Bahamas


D200, 35mm, f /2.0, 1/500 sec, ISO250

I took this yesterday on our last day of a business trip the Resort Atlantis in the Bahamas. If any of you need to warm up, right now, this is the place to go; a resort for adult kids. Great food, wonderful presentation and hospitality, along with things that make you feel like a kid again. All this without the following days of soreness from doing things you should not have tried. Atlantis has the largest aquarium in the world which means I have lots of fish pictures. The presentation at the resort is as if you were swimming and walking through the lost ruins of Atlantis. The colors in the Bahamas is wonderful, and this place has some great sculptures.

International Building in Fort Lauderdale


Reflections

D200 with wide angle lens

Early morning light on the International Building in Fort Lauderdale. The reflection of the clouds, the building itself, and the palm trees and the size of the building left me with a feeling of a powerful place. Maybe because this building is where many high ranking South American foreign government officials meet.

This picture was taken with 55mm and getting the lines correct, almost, was the challenge.

Which one do you like and why? Does it give you any feelings?

4 Comments:

Blogger SteveR said...

Hi Dolph,

I like them both very much, primarily because of the interplay of the lines in the building with their own reflections.

Of the two, I lean to the wide-angle view because of the feeling of expansiveness. Close call, though!

Friday, February 2, 2007 at 7:43:00 AM PST  
Blogger Benson said...

I am a big fan of wide angle shots. I would say I favor the first one because of that. The distortion of the driveway in front of the building is a little distracting so I would prefer to see it cropped out. That's always the challenge with wide angle shots looking up; the bottom of the photo shows somewhat exaggerated distortion. I also like the second one for the symmetry. Cropping that one for better symmetry would make it even better.

Saturday, February 3, 2007 at 8:39:00 PM PST  
Blogger Lea said...

Hi Dolph, great pics! You must have a clever eye to find such an interesting subject! I like the first one a bit more. The building looks like a book almost -- pages wide open to the chapter about the vast complexities of corporate America. I love the sky above the building being a part of the picture too. The second one is a terrific complementary photo to showcase the image inversion in the reflection, which is something I might have not noticed in the first. Nice photos :)

Saturday, February 10, 2007 at 6:16:00 AM PST  
Blogger Warren T. said...

Dolph, sorry for the late comment. I like both of the shots, but for different reasons. For me, the wide shot has more impact. It gives me a feeling of openness despite the massive building that dominates the picture. The shot is more indicative of the title of the post, "Reflections". The striking sky and cloud reflection from the building makes me appreciate the architect's genius at blending the massive structure into the surrounding environment.

The close-up shot is nice because it is a study of the geometry of the building's design, with the reflections as a secondary feature.

I agree with Benson that the foreground of the wide is just a little distracting (but not too bad). I like the fact that you included some trees at the corners to frame the shot a bit.

Also, I notice that in both shots, the horizon is ever so slightly tilted, just enough to be a little jarring when viewing the pictures. Sometimes just a little correction of the tilt may be the difference between a good shot and a real standout shot.

The tilt can be corrected with Photoshop, but it would have been best to have seen it and corrected for at the time the pictures were taken.

Do you have the grid line feature turned on in your D200? I have mine activated on my D100, and it really helps with visualizing things in the viewfinder sometimes. That's why I also use grid screens when possible on my film bodies.

My Early Morning Niche in the Park

Nikon D100, Tamron 24-135mm

I come here every morning to practice Taichi for about 40 minutes. The stables are currently unused, so there is relatively little traffic through here.

I'm curious if this picture elicits any emotional response from anyone. Anyone?

I learned a little while ago that sometimes pictures are really "just pictures", and they may not cause any sort of feelings from the certain viewers at all. I ponder these ideas somtimes...hmmm.

Hi Warren, Most of your photos do have impact to me. Expecially the ones of nature, of bridges, or buildings I've seen at different angles or with different lighting, or your photos with interesting lines, and the people photos you take (the multiple generations one comes to mind).

This particular photo doesn't elicit much emotion from me, but if I were familiar with the location, or the car info, or something, it probably would. But I always like to see what others are photographing ;)

Thursday, February 1, 2007 at 6:07:00 PM PST  
Blogger Lea said...

Careful, I am about to BLAB:
hahaha


Are any pictures "just pictures"? Or... aren't all pictures just pictures?

I think that with any picture there are two things that are great. The answers to these two questions: 1) What does it mean to me, and 2) What does it mean to its photographer/artist?

These things can be very similar, or very different! And discovering either of these findings can be fun and interesting. We all learn from others. Sometimes our tastes even change by finding out what other people like. We are ever-evolving our likes and dislikes.

Sometimes it's comfort we seek -- more of the same; longing to perfect a certain kind of photograph. And sometimes it's change we seek -- a fresh feeling.

I don't really think a picture can ever be classified as "just a picture".. You'd have to know what it means to everyone who might ever see it.. which is.. well, impossible.

So instead, I propose the following:

EVERY picture has an admirer out there :)

For me when I see something, I want to share what my senses are experiencing. The difficulty is the shot most of the time, for me, doesn't capture my emotions. In this shot you have emotions for the peace of mind you get from the 40 minutes each morning. That is hard to capture without some narration. I do like the car.

Breaking my silence. I feel guilty for not responding earlier but again, been very busy. I'm not sure if this photo elicits any emotion for me. It looks like a shot you may see in a car magazine, in this particular shot, the SL Mercedes. It evokes an image of wealth with the Mercedes and the stables.
