Visitors and my spring photo show…

Posted: May 11, 2008 at 6:42 pm by John

What a busy weekend…full of friends! Curt, Cheryl, and Loren wrapped up their west coast vacation with a couple of nights at our house. Matthew arrived from Michigan to stay with us for the summer. Chris shared dinner with us on Friday night, and Brad and Brian joined us for dinner (and Mexican Train) on Saturday night.

My spring photo show with my fellow Fort Mason Photographers went well, as usual. We had a rousing opening on Friday night, and a steady stream of visitors all weekend. I sold two prints, including one to dear Michele (THANK YOU 🙂

I had five new images in my spring series (four on the wall…the final shot below is a bonus shot in my bin). These images are from an airplane series I’ve assembled through my travels.

Impressive plane photos. I’m most impressed that you were able to get clear enough windows to take those kind of shots from the inside. When I flew, I usually just had hazy, pockmarked plastic between me and the outside that just didn’t render pictures quite the same as they looked from the air.

Thanks, Chip. Yes, the windows on most of thses planes aren’t the best, but the benefit of an ultra compact camera is that I’m shooting through a tiny aperature, and hence, a narrow portion of the window. I can usually find a distortion free section.

Wow- I forgot to mention when I saw you last week that- these are wonderful. I like the lines on the first one, and the composition on all of them. Goes to show that even through a greasy, dirty, scratched, airplane window with a compact digicam you can get some great shots…
