No Balboa Park pics this week, but I did take the trolley downtown for my weekly thing there. Here are a few select pics. Figure 1. "Trolley reflection study #6" I wasn't the only one with a camera there that day (See figs. 2,3). It's always good to see other photographers. Always carry a...

... Continued from last post. I was shooting wide open at f/1.4 with the 50mm Summilux-M ASPH for these shots. She [the puppy] was moving around a lot making it especially difficult to achieve focus (manual focus). I'm pleased with myself for getting the shots that I did. Figure 9. <Untitled>...

This week's batch of photos. From last Wednesday's Balboa Park trip: Figure 1. <Untitled> I think the people in the photo were gathered for a formal occasion. A wedding probably. Figure 2. <Untitled> The natural light was remarkable for portrait shots at this moment. Figure 3. "Apartment...

I think it could have gone both ways. Interference (destructive interference in this case) is a big thing in physics (interferometry, beam forming, double slit experiment, just to name a few). @kuruman is doing a ~1 per day lame joke from an old (11 year old) list of physics jokes he dug up.

A couple from a Balboa Park visit about a week ago. Figure 1. <Untitled> A couple of cuties enjoying Balboa Park. Figure 2. <Untitled> A shot from one of my more frequented bus/trolley stations. I like the tones. It's good for B&W pics.

... Continued from previous post. Figure 8. <Untitled> Figure 9. <Untitled> He seems to be sheltering this camera from the sun. Camera conscientious. I can dig that. Figure 10. "City worker on W Broadway" Figure 11. "No discernible subject or purpose" I don't really like this photo much...

This week in pics. We start out at the usual place I've been going every week. As usual, I'm only sharing the relatively nondescript images from these weekly occasions. Figure 1. <Untitled> You may remember pics of this little guy from previous posts. These pics are new though. Figure 2...

My rangefinder camera in question is digital, so no. I can snap off pictures all day without worrying about the cost and bulk of film. Bresson's photographs were undoubtedly more carefully considered than what I've been doing lately. 'Still a milestone though. (And I did grow up on film. So...

I've now taken over 10,000 photos on my rangefinder camera (other cameras are not included in the count). Here's a couple of pictures toward the tail-end of the 10,000 image count (not exactly at the very end, but pretty close): Figure 1. <Untitled> Leica 35mm Summilux-M ASPH. Figure 2...

... Continued from last post. (All photos here taken with the Leica 50mm Summilux-M ASPH.) Figure 7. <Untitled> Figure 8. <Untitled> Figure 9. <Untitled> This is the California Theatre Building again, but from a different angle. I walked by it on my way to get some lunch. Figure 10...

This week's batch of pics. This week I constrained myself to only shooting with a 50 mm lens. All pictures in this post (and the next) were taken with a Leica 50 mm Summilux-M ASPH. The first was taken last Wednesday at Balboa Park (See Fig. 1). Figure 1. "Girl running around perimeter of...

... Continued from last post. Figure 9. <Untitled> Leica 35mm Summilux-M ASPH. Figure 10. <Untitled> Leica 35mm Summilux-M ASPH. Figure 11. "Fourth Avenue. Midday break." Leica 50mm Summilux-M ASPH. I took this pic on my way to get some lunch. Figure 12. <Untitled> Leica 50mm Summilux-M...

This week's round of pics. As usual, of all the pics I consider "keepers" of the week, only an appropriate subset are shown here. Figure 1. <Untitled> Leica 35mm Summilux-M ASPH. Figure 2. "Educate. Demonstrate. Stop hate." Leica 35mm Summilux-M ASPH. Figure 3. <Untitled> Leica 35mm...

... Continued from previous post. A mariachi band was playing at the protest (for part of it, anyway). See Figs 8,9. Figure 8. <Untitled> Leica 50mm Summilux-M ASPH, 1/1000 sec, f/1.4 (might have been around f/2 or maybe even f/2.8). Figure 9. <Untitled> Leica 50mm Summilux-M ASPH, 1/250...

'Went to another [politically related] weekly protest this week. Here are the photos that fit within PF's rules and guidelines (other photos not included). There was occasional rain and drizzle. That didn't stop me though. Figure 1. "Dog and shoe composition," Leica 35mm Summilux-M ASPH, 1/160...
