I came out of work the other day to find a newsagent opposite on fire, I managed to get a few shots without getting in the way - makes me glad I take my camera everywhere with me.
泰國機場這有著一個蘋果的殼看似像Mac server，它裡面只有消防系統，旁邊那顆不但具備了冷氣(也許也有空氣清靜)，而且還是廣播系統。真是太令人激賞的設計了啊!
台灣的...我也懶的多說了~

this presentation was unexpected, next time will be more consistent.
由於後來才想整理一下這次旅遊的心得，照片有點凌亂。下次一定會比較有一致性，請各位包涵。
A private hydrant with (3) 2.5 inch connections and a valve on each connection
In need of a paint brush
An old hydrant taken with my new old Sigma 400mm f5.6 (no HSM no macro) during a recent hike.
I scaled it down to 1920x1080 Px for use as wallpaper on my Vaio notebook...
Sony a350, 400mm, f/5.6, 1/100 sec, ISO 400
I was taking a walk and found this equipment attached to the hydrant. No sign of any workers or vehicles. I think I go by again today and see if it's been collected! Note: I did go back and it was gone, cap put back on the hydrant, and all is well.
Open hydrant in Austin, Texas. I discovered this on my bike while I was cruising through my old neighborhood. There were actually 4 hydrants open within a 3 block radius, everyone was freaking out and rushing out of their homes.
This red fire hydrant stands beautifully in the midst of yellow Sao Nhái flowers. Growing up in NJ, I used to hate fire hydrants as it is illegal to park near a fire hydrant any where in NJ and NY. As available parking spaces are always a premium in the North East, Murphy's Law dictates that if there is an open space then there must be a fire hydrant occupying that same space. This hydrant, in the bed of yellow flowers however, is a lot more beautiful and more friendly to me than those that I found in the North East. :)
An old fire hydrant down my street in Golden Gate City looking very intersting.
Watercolor - Brush Detail: 7, Shadow Intensity: 1, Texture: 2
I've always liked how the watercolor filter affected photographs, and I thought it worked nicely with this one, I would have gone with Fresco, but thought it came out too dark.
Poster Edges - Edge Thickness: 1, Edge Density: 1, Posterization: 4
With experiencing new filters I came across Poster Edges and really liked the affect it gave to the fire hydrant, new and interesting especially with the way you can manipulate the Posterization.
Crosshatch - Stroke Length: 9, Sharpness: 6, Strength: 1
I liked how the crosshatch worked with the texture of the photograph.
A test roll through the Yashica Samurai x3.0 I got from Goodwill. It's 20 years old and good as new. I bought some cheap film at Kmart and ripped through a roll to test. It arrived with a star filter on. I'm going to leave it.
I strive to shoot something other than nature and landscapes, but those are just really easy subjects to shoot, especially with the diverse scenery and terrain within accessible distance in California.
Thankfully, a photowalk in the previous weekend in China Town and North Beach of San Francisco yielded plenty of opportunities and afforded me something different to shoot, from colorful buildings, detailed architecture, graffiti and cityscape from unique perspectives.
Walking along China Town, I came across a hydrant painted in something other than the drab red and that immediately caught my eye and yielded the above shot (ISO 200, 1/320s @ F2.8). Deep in one of the alleyways, a sporadic arrangement of utility pipes in buildings with contrasting coats of paint directed me to it and yielded the shot below (ISO 200, 1/160s @ F5.6). At one of the intersections, a tall concrete skyscraper towered over a brick red church while cornered by one of the Chinatown's decorated lamp posts thus making the third shot (ISO 200, 1/2500s @ F2.8)
One more sequence from North Beach to come soon.
