Immigrant Point Lookout

HTC One X Cell Phone

I am back into cycling after a long time out of it. Since I carry a cell phone with me on my rides and the cell phone has a decent camera in it, it's fun and challenging to take pictures on my rides. I like to compose shots during rest stops and it's interesting to include the bike in the compositions.

These two are from a few days ago, taken in the Presidio.

Nice calming mood... Reaching out with the trees... Doubling up shapes with shadows.

I find cycling to always present new and great images and an excuse to catch your breath. Welcome back Warren and congrats again on your personal new build out. I know you will enjoy the two wheeled adventures to come.

Warren,

Where did you take this from? I can't recall this angle with land and the bridge.

Wonderful photo and from an angle you don't see.

Dolph, this is on the beach, next to the inlet to the Crissy Field Lagoon. Sometimes at high tide, the water spills onto the beach and causes a mini-lagoon on the beach.

Interesting Presidio Architecture

It was a beautiful, clear winter day out at Crissy Field. This picture was taken today, but I processed it to look more 'vintage'.

More Explorers

Konica FS-1, 40mm f1.8 Hexanon, Kodak BW400CN

Different weekend, different place, same idea as the last one that I posted.

Dan, I finally had a chance to process the roll that I shot in the FS-1. As it turned out, I must have loaded it badly because the leader jammed in the FS-1's wind mechanism causing it to double expose a few frames in the beginning, and jam when I tried to rewind it. I had to unload the camera in a dark closet by opening the back and manually yanking out the leader.

I will be posting my shots from the RFF meetup day soon.

Nice composition Warren. I like how you move into the exit of the tunnel and the walls seem to bend in.

Rusty Hinge

Panasonic DMC-G1, Lumix 14-45mm

Dan, I was thinking "rust" too. I was about to post this when you beat me to it.

This was seen on a building in the Presidio.

The original Lumix 14-45mm is a really fine lens.

Warren, San Franciscans really appreciate the qualities of good rust. Must be the fog in our veins. Well done. The silos are located off of 3rd and Illinois.

Another from that photogenic place :).

I put a white frame on this image, but it's invisible because of this blog's white background.

I rarely tone my B&W images, but in this case I thought it was appropriate. I used a mild sepia tone, and I think it gives an aged feel to the scene which is appropriate for the Fort.

What do you think?

Marvelous composition. I like the way you used the big arch and the repeating, smaller arches below. The lighthouse makes a great focal point around which the arches live.

I do like the toning - I think it fits the scene well!

Warren as you have seen from past posts, I have utilized toning a great deal. In the dark room bleaching was one of my favorite post printing processes. Have you utilized yellow in the Nik Software much like a filter. I find it very effective and this image really benefited from the toning giving the nostalgic effect you may have been looking for.

Thanks Dan. I played with the yellow filter a bit in LR, but not in Nik. --Warren

Beauty in a Dirt Mound

Lumix DMC-GF1, Lumix 20mm f1.7

It was springtime (Easter Sunday) in the Presidio and there were flowers everywhere including a nondescript mound of dirt in a field. I think most people would simply walk by without noticing, but when I saw this scene, I was reminded of those beautiful fields of flowers that Dan and Simon posted recently. I wondered... can I make a picture of this scene that would be aesthetically pleasing?

Warren,

This time of year in the Bay Area brings out the flowers. I remember just south of Moss Beach are some rolling hills with these flowers, accented by the dark green of the trees in the mountains in the background.

Makes we want to come home...........

Thanks,

Warren, since you know I am an arborist, there is a saying when someone asks you is the tree safe and the wise guy response is only if it is a 2x4 laying on the ground so no one will trip on it. With that said, the color and grain make an interesting composition
