Levi's Plaza After Sunset

Lumix LX5

It was getting cold and dark quickly once the sun went down. I had several compositions from this spot, and I decided to try a black & white of this scene.

I'm not sure how successful this one is? What do you think?

Bay Bridge Twilight

Lumix LX5

This was taken from AT&T Park last Saturday evening. This view of the Bay Bridge can only be seen from the top level of AT&T park. 

Most people would not know or care about this, but the LX5 has a true multi-aspect sensor, meaning that it shoots in full, 10MP resolution in all aspects (4:3, 3:2, and in this case, 16:9). There is a handy switch on the lens barrel to select aspect ratio. 1:1 is also available, which is useful for composition but 1:1 is cropped (not full-res).

Museum Entrance at Twilight

Panasonic DMC-G1, Nikkor-H 50mm f2

This is the front of the new Academy of Sciences building in Golden Gate Park.

I read a lot about the virtues of the Nikkor 50mm f2 lenses, especially the early ones. I recently acquired a barely working Nikkormat FT with this lens attached to it. The lens has a nasty dent in the filter ring, but its glass is in good shape. It is early slr version of this lens: Nikkor-H 50mm f2, non-ai, single coated.

I always wanted to try one, and now I have a chance. I will also shoot some film with it when I have a chance, but for now, it will be a nice, short-tele, lens on my Lumix cameras.
