We have tons of rain in the weekend. And it is good time to try out the Weather Resistant (WR) feature on the Fuji 90mm F2 lens. :o)
Thank you to the rain. We are happy because it brings out the colorful umbrella on the street!
Happy wet Sunday!

I arrived in SFO at 5pm but only had one night in the city before leaving to Yosemite National Park, so decided to go somewhere near the bridge to take some sunset shots. The manager of the hotel suggested the Crissy Field side in case there was fog and I took his advice. There was no fog and no clouds either, just clear sky with a cold breeze and a smooth sunset with an orange tonality. Well worth the visit.

The crape myrtles have been beautiful this season.
Here is another shot from yesterday's brief rainshower.
The Millennium Dome, often referred to simply as The Dome, was originally used to house the Millennium Experience, a major exhibition celebrating the beginning of the third millennium, CE. Located on the Greenwich Peninsula in South East London, the £789 million exhibition opened to the public on 1 January 2000 and ran until 31 December 2000. However, white and elephant would seem a fitting description for that original format.
Subsequently, all of the original exhibition and associated complex was demolished, leaving the canopy or shell of the dome. This exterior only cost £43 million to construct. The rest of the exorbitant costs were on the politically-driven interior!
The dome is the largest of its type in the world. Externally, it appears as a large white marquee with 12 100m-high yellow support towers, one for each month of the year, or each hour of the clock face, representing the role played by Greenwich Mean Time. In plan view it is circular, 365m in diameter - 1m for each day of the year - with scalloped edges. It has become one of the UK's most recognisable landmarks and can easily be seen on aerial photographs of London.
The architect was Richard Rogers. The building structure was engineered by Buro Happold, and the entire roof structure weighs less than the air contained within the building! Although referred to as a dome it is not strictly one as it is not self-supporting, but is a mast-supported, dome-shaped cable network. For this reason, it has been disparagingly referred to as the Millennium Tent. The canopy is made of PTFE-coated glass-fibre fabric, a durable and weather-resistant plastic, and is 52m high in the middle - 1m for each week of the year. However, its symmetry is interrupted (ruined?) by a hole through which a ventilation shaft from the Blackwall Tunnel rises.
Apart from the dome itself, the project included the reclamation of the entire Greenwich Peninsula. The land was previously derelict and contaminated by toxic sludge from an earlier gasworks that operated from 1889 to 1985. The clean-up operation was seen by the-then Deputy Prime Minister, Michael Heseltine, as an investment that would add a large area of useful land to the crowded capital. This was billed as part of a larger plan to regenerate a large, sparsely-populated area to the east of London and south of the River Thames, an area initially called the East Thames Corridor but latterly marketed as the "Thames Gateway".
It is the ninth-largest building in the world by usable volume. In its post-millennium life as a venue for concerts and shows, the O2 Arena (as it was renamed in 2005) has become the world's busiest music venue since 2017 in terms of ticket sales, outselling such locations as Madison Square Gardens.
I believe this is the New Zealand impatiens. This was taken at the tail end of the rainshower the other day. The sun had just come out, but it was still sprinkling.
Come by our booth C8908 at NAB in the central hall next week to check out some new products! Get hands-on experience with our pro LED lights in our demo studio with model Sydney Webb. Houston-based commercial marketing, advertising, and editorial photographer Micahl Wyckoff will also be available to chat about his experience with Fotodiox products and help you with your demo. See you there!
Anche andando e tornando dal lavoro si può fare qualche foto fugace.
[Ma solo con Pentax si può fare sotto la pioggia senza spendere un capitale :D ]
This time we tried Alamo Square for its playground - this is the well-known park for its postcard view of San Francisco downtown from Pacific Heights district. What is the most famous here is the "Painted Ladies", the houses in the row with same structures but differently painted colors.
We arrived quite early, and it was very quaint! We will perhaps go back again for its great view of the city and wonderful playground that is not crowded by people.

I just love this little camera, so much tech and amazing image quality in such a small package.
Its sitting there with an 85mm f2, a wonderful old lens that isnt much larger than most 50mm primes :D.
This was shot using a gf1 with pentax auto 110 50mm 2.8 lens :).
Here I was thinking I was going to have to spend a billion bucks on a 28-105 WR lens... when I forgot I was actually a level GENIUS and thus spent $15 and came up with this!
Perfect for our Aussie climate too! Shooting in the shade aw yeah!

When our baby gets good night of sleep, why not going out a little to San Francisco?
We felt great, so we took advantage of it by going across the bay from our east bay. We went through the Dogpatch area to start off at one of the new backeries, then off to Dolores Park in the Mission, completing the day with lunch in Japantown at Hinodeya Ramen.

I've been eyeing the Fujinon XF 23mm F1.4 for the longest time.
The fact that it's quite a pretty penny (the cost of which I put to my incredible 16mm F1.4 WR instead or relied on my 35mm F1.4 for portraits, and 18mm F2 as a walk around) had me hesitate from picking it up.
But when Fuji announced earlier this year a weather resistant F23mm F2.0 (faster, lighter and economically better priced), I knew I had to get it. This is especially timely as I've been wanting to get into a bit of street photography, learning how to work against the changing elements to capture some lifestyle shots. Plus what good (for me) is it to have an expensive lens that isn't protected against the elements like the camera body?
The metal hood is on back-order, so it will have to wait to join its brother, but for now, watch out world.
Always learning. Always growing. Always love my toys. :)

The camera bag in the picture is the Lowepro Rezo 140AW. I call it "The Tardis." It's a tiny bag but seems to have almost limitless capacity. Everything in the picture (except for the banana which is included for scale) easily fits inside the bag with room to spare! I could probably squeeze in another small lens. It's very discreet and great for the streets.
Science fiction fans will know that the TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimension(s) In Space) is a time machine and spacecraft in the cult British science fiction television series Doctor Who. Famously, the Tardis is bigger on the inside than on the outside!
According to Wiki :
A TARDIS is a product of the advanced technology of the Time Lords, an extraterrestrial civilization to which the programme's central character, the Doctor, belongs. A properly maintained and piloted TARDIS can transport its occupants to any point in time and space. The interior of a TARDIS is much larger than its exterior, which can blend in with its surroundings through the ship's "chameleon circuit". In the series, the Doctor pilots an unreliable, obsolete Type 40 TARDIS, whose chameleon circuit is faulty, leaving it locked in the shape of a 1950s-style London police box after a visit to London in 1963. The Doctor's TARDIS was stolen from the Time Lords' home planet, Gallifrey, where it was old, decommissioned and derelict.
Despite the turmoil in DC, our nation's capitol has several beautiful aspects. This view from the Key Bridge is one walked an driven by many every day. With all of those buildings and the people to go with it, notice the eased saturation of people taking the time to enjoy the pleasant calm there.
It's probably important to note that all of my images from February 11th, 2017 were shot hand held. The 18-135 OIS works beautifully. The 23 f/.1.4 relies solely on shutter speed and quality to achieve great results.
