Great shot. I called on the photo lab in that building probably early 1980s when I was a TSR with Ilford Photo U.S.

Interesting! You'll have to tell me more about that story someday. Back in my early film days (mid/late-70's) I would mostly shoot B&W (Kodak Plus-X or Pan-X, sometimes Tri-X) and drop-off the film for processing at a small lab (Floyd Lee on Eastlake Avenue). I'd put the film in a wooden box outside after-hours. On the lab envelope, I would request "develop only" and a contact sheet -- since I was a student on a budget. Back in those days, under the Monorail near Seattle Center, there was a rent-by-the-hour darkroom that I would use for B&W printing (FUN) and Ilford paper was my go-to choice. Not quite sure why... maybe it was the best or the cheapest? But I always printed on Ilford paper.

That's quite a big parking garage for such a small market? :-) ;-)

Week 29

In over a thousand visits to the Bagneux market parking lot, I had never seen it so empty.

But so many choices! I would probably drive around awhile looking for the *perfect* spot. :-D
 
After I took this shot, I walked farther up the path and closer to the bridge. I was surprised... an unexpected encounter with another photographer! We talked a little bit. If you view full size, you can see him.

...and what a shot. Almost midnight? Impressed.
 
Playing with the 20 at my favorite little pond

May I add just one more for a bit of humor? I found these next to an onramp to Hwy 92. No idea who built them or why. However, might they be a candidate for the Moraga Steps treatment? :-D

A bit of humor does not hurt!

#2... yes! Definitely a Moraga candidate. I can visualize it. Just as you did. :-)
 
Nice. Cropped or pano? Reminds me of Cote de Nacre (picture from your calendar -- which is sitting on my desk).
 
On the way home from work/meetings, I took a short break and parked at the north end of the airport... during a north "flow" (34R departures). Sunny day and blue sky. Nobody else around... had the parking lot all to myself. Very pleasant to stand and shoot. Stress relief. Flightradar24 app is helpful to anticipate the action. I only had the 80-400 with me in the bag. The 200-500 is better suited for these long-range airplane shots (a little bit sharper). Daily SEA-CPH flight (A350-941).

Thank you John. It was cropped.

My first thought reading your text (nice aircraft picture btw) was... daily flights from Seattle to Copenhagen? Really? Made me investigate further. I had no idea CPH was main, and as busy as it is. I learn things from these random photos.

Hi RBIV. Have you considered making the verticals parallel using a Keystone tool?
Click to expand...
Ah yes, thanks, it's the second time I've been caught out on this. :-D

I did use the "perspective control" on my software, and while it straightened up the buildings it narrowed the composition more than I cared for. So, I let the buildings tilt.

I think the real answer is a decent wide angle PC lens, and I'm hoping Nikon releases one in a native Z mount in the future.

I also know Capture 1 has a pretty good "keystone" tool, but I don't have that software on this computer. Yet... maybe.
