WPC: Perspective 4

It’s been a long time since I posted the last 6×17 panorama. Now here comes another one. Captured on a trip from San Francisco to Los Angeles last year just an hour before sundown. As far as I remember, this must be some miles ahead of Santa Barbara. Fuji GX617, EBC Fujinon SWD 90mm F/5.6

WPC: Perspective 2

This will always file amongst the Top Ten of all the pictures I did. Shot almost from the hip back in august last year with my then permanent accompanist the Fuji X100 when strolling down market street in San Francisco. What a strong tool that camera was… Fujifilm X100 @ F8, 1/125 sec., ISO 100

Travelling #4: San Francisco panorama no. 7

Just a snapshot from the upper deck of a sightseeing bus. Like so often the bridge is hiding itself in heavy fog. (Fujifilm GX617, Ilford Delta 100)

Today’s focus is fixed to San Fran’s architecture, as you probably assumed by reading the headline. Not much more to say. Have a look.

Travelling #4: San Francisco panorama no. 5

A streetcar of the historical F-line. The F-line with its original streetcars from the 1950s was reinstalled in the 1980s mainly as a tourist attraction and also as a substitute for the cable car line which was out of business for two years due to technical overhaul.

Travelling #4: San Francisco panorama no. 4

Actually I don’t know what the name of this dock or pier on the westside of Aquatic Park is. Just like big parts of Aquatic Park Pier it’s in a quite a derelict condition and because of that public access is not allowed. Shot the frame in the very early morning when the city was„Travelling #4: San Francisco panorama no. 4“ weiterlesen

Travelling #4: San Francisco panorama no.3

This viewpoint is on Lombard Street, just above its extremely curvy part for which it is so famous (or notorious if you prefer). Quite in the middle you can see Coit Memorial Tower which is another great site for cityscapes.

Travelling #4 (Part I): San Francisco first impressions

Finally, here it comes. The first row of snapshots taken during my last trip to San Fran. As before I was truly impressed by the beauty of the city as well as by its multifacedness. At first when booking the trip I wanted to locate directly at Fisherman’s Wharf, the touristic centre of the city„Travelling #4 (Part I): San Francisco first impressions“ weiterlesen

Photo of the day #119

This is the only photo I took in L.A. during my last stay there back in August. As far as I remember this was West Hollywood Boulevard. We were there only for some hours. Most of the time we spent in the car cruising through the busy streets of L.A. and all the rest I„Photo of the day #119“ weiterlesen
