Amazing shot! I love how you got mostly the sky - here in L.A. we dont get to see much blue sky, it's mostly hidden by smog o.o

This photo is beautiful. It shows a lot of calmness, but then to me, it also looks like a lot could be going on. I don't know, thats just me.

The lighting is perfect, by the way. What time of day was this? xD

Thank you!! Smog normally covers the sky past 9 or 10am so if you're hardworking enough to wake early, you'll see clear blue all over. I donno about LA, but it's normally the same just about anywhere there's uhm... smog. :B

This was taken early morning around 7am. If taken any later, it'll be smogged up again.

I see
Do you have any experiences with Fuji Velvia RVP 50? I wanna try it, but only option is to order 20 rolls

evanhwong In reply to hellmet [2008-03-11 09:46:35 +0000 UTC]

sorry, i seldom touch anything under 200.. On a sales point of view, i'd sell minimum 20 too, it's gonna get rarer and rarer with films like that.

It's great to have such vivid color present. I could tell right away this was a film shot, it has that "quality" in it. I would've liked to see more in the upper half of the frame. This shot is more about color and shapes than subject matter.

Interesting choice of words "This shot is more about color and shapes than subject matter."... I never realized that at first. Thank you so much for your colorful comments, sweets!

Quite scary I almost prefer my days of anonymity. At least back then I had a better chance of people feeling like they needed to put more into it.
