Is this the car you're thinking of? I believe this car is owned by Pete Giddings, the former weatherman for KGO TV here in SF.

No! ... The car is an enclosed Alfa, built to Ferrari's specs, for a race in Europe ... I'll scare up a pic and some details. [The Alfa didn't win much, and I believe that that is the reason Ferrari decided to build his own ...]

Another shot at the library.

I really like this one. It's intriguing in a sort of film noir kind of way.

 

[pdxflint]

pdxflint, your photo of G.Knight is my favourite from this thread for many, many months. Such a wonderful, lovely, and touching capture.
I remember a picture that Freebooter posted, of two young girls looking into the camera, that I just sat and looked at, for, as they say, the longest time!

This affects me in a similar manner. It's really beautiful.

Wow! Thanks Carl! I'm sure she would be pleased you liked her picture. I hesitate to post too many dog shots, since I have so many different ones and they're all readily available subjects, but every now and then....

Thanks again. -phil

Here's another from the raindrop set.

Canon Rebel XT
ISO 100
f/5.6
1/250

Nice shot. Reminds me of this one which I saw when I visited the exhibition yesterday.

Wow... reminds me of shots from user TheReef, but with added clarity. I love the texture of the rocks juxtaposed against the fluidity of the water.

I really like the concept but I think it would be far better if the 7 ball was in focus.

Another from my trip to SF, C&C appreciated:

Something a little newer for a change (although Canepa Design is the best place for 959 spotting).

Oh this is awesome! I love love love it! well done!!!!!

Thanks nuwomb. It's another from my post-radio interview collection. We were in his hotel room and I just had a couple of minutes to get something. Shooting him against the window seemed like the best option. After pushing the faders around a little in Adobe Camera Raw it came out just how I wanted it.

Nice shot. Reminds me of this one which I saw when I visited the exhibition yesterday.

Thanks! That guy used a macro lens, and I use my kit lens! The kit lens is actually fairly impressive for up-close stuff (to my untrained eye though), even though it's known as a total suck-fest. I'm talking about the non-IS kit lens here!

Steamie, great shot! I too at first thought it was TheReef posting, and that says a lot about your photo. I also love the rocks and the light glinting off of it. Nicely done.

I was bored and looking for an excuse to use shallow DOF.

Canon Rebel XT

[Doylem]

^^^ With shallow DOF, I'd have put Obama's face in focus...

Picture of a rock and a flower and an 'inspiring' slogan. Hmmm, reminds me of Magritte...

You haven't really climbed a hill till you've taken the picture...
