Post at the end of Wilshire Boulevard
Friday, January 25th, 2008
Santa Monica, California. I’m shooting east up Wilshire catching a wooden post and rope railing with cars behind. There are four serious photographers to my left wondering why my back is to the Pacific Ocean with an incredible sunset happening and what I’m seeing in this wooden post.
When I left two of them came over to inspect the post.
Poor photographer folks don’t know Big boy Richard does magic with his 85MM L all of the time :D
;D thats true Dilip ;]
Dilip and Gedas: True that the 85L is a big, fat beast and I’d think that folks would be interested in it, but in fact, they really thought I was shooting the post and wanted to see what it was on the post that was so interesting. No way to see what the resulting lights behind will be like with shallow depth of field when you’re just checking out the post with the naked human eye. I suppose if one had glaucoma…
I flicked this idea.
