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...

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.
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.
Attack on a beacksat cab window! Everyone fleeeeee! Panic!
That kid is serious, man.....he wants to blast some water on this cab!
Meanwhile, the other kid is just cooling off his face.
The reactions people have in the heat of a battle are unpredictable.
We got hydrant blasted....HARD.
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.

My first I believe. Just wanted to go shoot something and this was the best thing I could find within a block of my home.
