It was only when I uploaded these photos that I realised that these birds can see right down past their beaks, into the water, to spot fish. Whodathunkit?
So I've become completely obsessed with Mr E's and [ CK ]'s viewfinder photos. I took a photo through the viewfinder of my beautiful Ensign Ful-Vue a while back and didn't really think any further about it but now it just seems so obvious. Anyways, here's one of my first attempts.
The tragic upshot of this photo is that it made me realise how filthy the viewfinder was. I knew that I had to get inside it to open the viewfinder's casing so I did...I failed to look and see if there was a film inside it first though...and there was. ARRRRGGGGGGG!
I'll process the film today and see if the whole film is ruined :-(
Wide angle view of some street art in a Joondalup laneway. I had actually gone to Joondalup to take some photos at a motorshow but the show was cancelled due to some local bushfires. Many of the people involved in the motor show were volunteer firefighters so could not attend due to the fire emergency. The upshot is I had an unscheduled photoshoot of Joondalup. :-) I took all these photos in film simulation mode with my Fujifilm XT3
A security camera peers curiously at me as I point my cemra up the curved glass frontage of this building.
At the edge of the cone the curvature of space appeared nullified, almost (see telephone pole in the lower right corner) normal. Meanwhile the cumulative radiation from time spent inside the dome was beginning to take its toll on the camera and memory card... N32550 - Happy Sliders Sunday!
The building keeps growing taller at the construction site, with what looks like bins protruding from different levels.
I guess these bins are a way of transporting things to and from these high levels using the crane above.

An image from shoot 2 of 2 at piers 15 and 17 from last month. It really works better when you have fully-charged batteries in your lamp when trying to light paint a dozen pilings over a 70 foot distance. Haha.
Anyway, both times I was aided by my oldest son, who was giving me a lot of those "What the heck is my dad up to now" looks, as well as watching my back. Stay safe out there and have some extra eyes at work when you are down in the camera.
The upshot to coming back was having more options on the timing. In this case, it was blue hour light we wanted. Similarly, because the composition leaves out the blue light to the left and out-of-frame, I thought introducing the blue light on the old pilings of Pier 17 was in order. The Embarcadero holiday lights are fairly-reliable, so we didn't stress on that, but having seen the Transamerica Building beacon come on well after twilight 2 other evenings at other locations, we were stoked when it came on early.
There are some fascinating---and free---venues at the Exploratorium on Pier 15, so come and check it all out. My son liked the lighted glass floor thing where you can see herring schools swim by.
Anyhow, thanks for stopping by to see this shot!
