Saturday with Warren Roll 1

Hey guys,
I met up with Warren and a couple other photography (/gear) enthusiasts in SF a couple weekends ago. I developed a roll of film from that day and here are some of the pictures.
I know this is the friendly photo forum but some friendly constructive criticism goes a long way :)
Best,
Keshav

Enjoying a Smoke

A change of pace from our recent landscape, wildlife, and scenery photography, here's a different kind of scenery.

Smokers Club

I had to grab this shot quickly because an instant after I took the picture, two of the guys finished and went back downstairs.

I see a lot of people standing or sitting outside their Mah Jong parlors, having a smoke or just taking a fresh air break.

Sightseeing Break

Leica M3, Leitz 50mm f2.8 Elmar, Kodak BW400CN

I was walking quickly along the waterfront at Fisherman's Wharf, snapping pictures along the way. I was rushing a bit, to meet up with Dan. I didn't know it, but Dan was at the end of this block. When I walked through this covered area, a young man noticed my M3, and said, "Wow, that's a nice, old camera!". I told him that it's a 1959 camera, and as I turned around to continue walking, I saw this scene. I was a little surprised at how many people noticed and appreciated my old M3 that day. Later that day, we had dinner with a friend, and his brother, an electron microscope maintenance and repair expert REALLY appreciated being able to see and try the M3 in-person.

Disinterested Party

Hey Lea, let's see some of your extras from the Decisive Challenge photo day.

Joe, did you shoot that day?

Ted, I know you only took two shots, show us the one that you didn't submit. :P

Anyone else with some street work?

I have more to come... stay tuned. :)

Resting Those Tired Dogs

Leica M3, Leitz 50mm f2.8 Elmar, Kodak 400CN

A tourists rests his tired feet on a bench at the Modern Jewish Museum Plaza. When I first walked there, he apparently thought that I was worthy of a picture so he brazenly photographed me and my Leica. Later, I returned the favor by getting his picture, LOL! :) He was shooting a large Canon DSLR with what looked like a large wide angle prime lens.

Follow Me!

Leica M3, Leitz 50mm f2.8 Elmar, Kodak 400CN

I am very interested to know what you folks think of my recently posted shots from my M3, and whether or not they are anywhere near: "in the style of HCB" :).

Also, I wouldn't mind some discussion about this month's project either online or offline (individually) if you're so inclined. We can discuss any image, talk about what worked or what didn't work, and why.

As always, viewing an exhibit is very inspirational for me, and I think in this case, it was really fun to go out to Yerba Buena Gardens right after viewing the HCB exhibit. Using my M3 w/50mm made the experience especially pleasant.

Thanks,

Warren

Photo Spot

Leica M3, Leitz 50mm f2.8 Elmar, Kodak 400CN

Since RFF only allows two entries for their "Decisive Challenge", I am posting some of the other images that I made from that day (Nov. 14, 2010).

It was hard to choose only two pictures from the bunch that I took.
