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.

I drive by this rusty old fire hydrant every day on my way into work. Finally stopped and got a shot of it today. Part of my effort to capture more interesting textures in my photos.
There are lots of old fire hydrants in the farm park. I wonder if they still work? Not interested in finding out!
A fire hydrant is a valve for removal of water from a water distribution system. Usually be defined by the water utilities, fire hydrants used as part of the central fire water supply of cities and towns. He allows the fire department, but also public (eg road maintenance, urban farms) and private (eg street cleaning companies, tent festival organizers) users with the water from the public water supply network (collective water supply).
Special signs point to underground hydrants in public space.

Ein Hydrant ist eine Armatur zur Entnahme von Wasser aus einem Wasserverteilungssystem. In der Regel werden, durch den Wasserversorger festgelegte, Hydranten als Teil der zentralen Löschwasserversorgung von Städten und Gemeinden genutzt. Er ermöglicht der Feuerwehr, aber auch öffentlichen (z. B. Straßenmeisterei, Stadtbetriebe) und privaten (z. B. Straßenreinigungsfirmen, Zeltfestveranstaltern) Nutzern die Wasserentnahme aus dem öffentlichen Wasserleitungsnetz (Sammelwasserversorgung).
Spezielle Hinweisschilder weisen im öffentlichen Raum auf Unterflurhydranten hin.
