Looking South from Fort Funston

Nikon D200, Nikkor 24mm f2.8

Later evening near sunset time, I drove out to Fort Funston to get some fresh air, and I took a camera with me of course.

Wreck of the Pt. Reyes revisited

I wasn't completely satisfied with my post on the wreck of the Pt. Reyes, so I went out and did it again.  Also, since the fog was rolling in at sunrise, I captured a few more landscapes with the d800e, Zeiss 100 f2

Dan, is the Pt. Reyes picture another stitch job? What didn't you like about the first one?

At the time Warren I actually took images of the wreck from both sides, but did not compose the side you see in this series with enough sky and the top of the boat. I like the reflection and the sunrise on the rust in this image more than the shaded side view. All images in this series are stiches.

Well, I think you have the stitching technique nailed, totally seamless. I agree with you, I like the wreck for this angle a little better than the original. The shadow side on the original is still interesting because the shadow adds some mystery and drama.

The stitching technique is flawless. I like the picutre of the boat because it allows you to look at many interesting points in the pictures. The reflections, the colors, the angles, and a story of why the boat ended up on the sand bar.

Thanks for taking the picture and sharing.

Joe...if the woman in the bottom picture knew you took that picture and posted it on the web I would be looking out for women driving cars with hats pulled way down.

4th of July Neighborhood Parade




The crowds were fun, I actually walked in the parade this year with a community group I work with and had great fun.  This year we were well prepared as the last image shows the tractor waiting for unwanted deposits.  Lumix GH2 14-140.

Chinese Acrobat Show

I was lucky enough to just walk into the Chinese Acrobat show at the County Fair, usually the show is sold out since it comes with the price of admission.  I sat in the third row and despite the admonition to not use cameras and buy their video was able to come up with these images shot at chest high and wide dof.  Leica M9, CV 35mm Nokton

Really nice sneaked shots! I'm surprised the Shaolin Monks didn't come out to smash your M9, LOL! :)

I was a little worried when I had to exit and the big acrobat was looking at me critically, while one of the young ladies hawked their video.

County Fair

I was able to get some free tickets to the County Fair. Did not stay for the fireworks, but enjoyed the crowds and exhibits.  My favorite is the last image with the adult celebrating his win and the kids just looking at him.  Hopefully he gave his prize to one of them. 

Leica M9, CV 35 Nokton

Dan, this is my favorite of your recent series, wonderful moments captured with great compositions. My favorite is the woman and her prized banana. It's hard to know who was happier, her or the banana. :)

July 4th Set

Panasonic DMC-G1, Lumix 14mm f2.5, Lumix DWC-GWC1 (.79x wide angle adapter)

Did anyone else shoot on the 4th? Let's see those pictures! :)

We only had a short walk this year. I shot all these using my newly acquired .79x wide angle adapter that is specifically made by Lumix for its 14mm, making it an effective focal length of 11mm (22mm equivalent FOV).

There will be another Decisive Challenge photo contest on August 5th. You can find the details of it on RFF:
 link here. The organizer, Kent, is also organizing a visit to SFMOMA on the same day, from 11:30 to 2pm. I plan to go to this, and also to participate in the contest. Is anyone else interested? Dan? Lea? For you non-local folks, you can participate in the contest. There will be entries from around the world.

Warm Up Shot at the start of our walk. You can see Coit Tower in the far distance:
Architectural:
More Animal Caps, this time in the Fisherman's Wharf area:
I think that's a good deal for $2.75 :):
Eat Crab:
Crabs:
July 4th and Harleys go together:
Sugar Low? (seen at Pier 39):
A store display (Pier 39):

I'm surprised nobody cared (or even noticed?) that these were taken with a WA adapter on the 14mm. I would be interested to know which ones stood out for you in the set.

I like the Eat Crab, the caricature, and the Architectural. I would be interested to know if you needed to crop out any edge softness or did you crop for composition only. Nicely done overall Warren.

Thanks Dan. I cropped for composition only, and I did not notice edge softness although I'm sure there is some.
