Yes, but it was taken on a Saturday afternoon so no chance of taking it
without people. This one had fewer people. If it had been quieter I may
have moved in closer, but that would have involved standing in the middle
of the street. Instead I hung around for a minute or two at the side of
the street out the way waiting for least people.

Well, it has people in it I will call it street photography. Oh sorry I
can't, I didn't use a Leica...

:-)

Interestingly I find I have never really stopped to take a good look at
this building.

You could have tried the old f/32 with ND 8 (or denser) filter and slow film
trick (long exposure) to erase most of the people...

Brian Baird: I think I am just scared. Yeah, scared with that creepy too
much bass in the movie theater feeling.

You're frightened of an egg-shaped lamp with feet? I guess we all
should be.

If you're not going to take the time, nor apply yourself, you shouldn't
bother.


Start taking your own advice?

Read my reviews. They are not 3 liners in general and usually point out both
strengths and weaknesses as I seem them.

I was actually talking about your submissions. The whole point of the SI
was to get people out to take pictures, not peruse the archive for something
that fits.

As I said befo Don't like it, don't read it, cause you can't unread it.

I do that when I have time to do so. But I don't post reviews that are for the
most part totally useless.

Bret Douglas: Wondered how you got the cliff shot with the D60, now I know.

The D60 cliff was about 5 times higher.
Taking the final pic with the D60 wasn't too tough. Just set the timer and
throw it when it gets to 9.
The bitch was scaling down those rocks to retrieve the CF card.
