Downtown SF according to Konstantin

Looks like up the river to me, though some are reputed to have paddled off that rock.

Konstantin just won my "Golden Gate Picture of the year" award I bet. I really like this shot.

  Thanks Frank for the travel and the 3 points of view.

  I see some weird purple noise in the shadows of some pictures. Have you or anyone else notice this? It is pp or the camera, or me?

evening hike

I'm really enjoying your and Konstantin's photos, Frank!  In particular, I appreciate the different look at a location (San Francisco) where it's all to easy to fall into taking the same old tourist shots. 

The photo between the "high voltage" and "no trespassing" shots depicts California buckeye tree Aesculus californica in its typical autumn condition, leaves gone and fruits (drying skin over a huge shiny seed about 5cm in diameter) getting ready to drop to the ground.  The brown grassy hills seen in some of the photos will soon be green after the autumn rains arrive and soak the landscape.

1. I am not on a calibrated system
2. I love to use the 1.4/35 Ai-S wide open which features a certain combination of faults like a fiter. That is basicly why I bought the lens. I wrote a thread about it in "lens tak"
3. I use my phone somtimes with strange filters

Thank you Bill. Yesterday night we had 2255 clicks on our machinery without mobile phone shots.

As we do BKT +/- 1 Stops on all shots more or less there should be roughly 650 unique perspectives plus today. Say ... 800ish ...

I managed to upload 70ish.

Lots of driving.

This is actually a picture I took with my phone from the LCD of my cam. I am too tired to fire up the Laptop...
