Seattle Summer 2007

I started shooting chromes this summer, using the reliability of AE on the Bessa, I could affordably shoot street, the way I like, without worrying about exposure malfunctions. Shot using the fantastic Nokton 50mm f1.5 which is every bit as good as the Summilux without question. Prefocussed on a spot on the ground when I saw this to die for hotness gliding down the street and sliced just at the right moment between the two red cars.

This is Kodak E100 GX. I had been shooting for just primary colors; two primaries complimenting eachother in the frame -hard to live with the slf control when you shoot everything that moves as policy.
Shooting chrome and see it on a light box or projected is so vastly compromised when you scan and make as a web friendly image........

    The strong vignetting works very well with this image. (Obviously not a Summilux!)

    Great composition and timing! I'd like it even better if she was facing you with a dirty "why-are-you-taking-my-picture?" look. But that's just being nitpicky.
