Our Blue Lagoon
Leica M3, 50mm f2.8 Elmar, Fuji Superia 400
This is the lagoon at Crissy Field in the Presidio. It was a cold and windy, but clear day.

Dennis, thanks for your comments. I like the sharpness and color rendition of this lens a lot. As I mentioned earlier, it also has a particular signature "look" that will hopefully become more apparent after I post more shots from it.
I'll be shooting some B&W soon (Kodak 400CN), but I also converted one of the Fuji color shots to B&W and it was also very nice. I'll post that soon.

also check out the shot that I posted on my other blog: viewfindersf.aminus3.com
it's titled: Sky of Blue and Sea of Green.

Really nice Warren, Great camera and lens setup! Looking forward to seeing more from this setup!
Very nice composition, and very sharp, indeed!
The cool part about this location is that it was once a U.S. Army Air Field (Crissy Field) within the Presidio, and the lagoon was part of the runway. When the land was made part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, the runway was removed and the land was returned to nature (as much as possible).
