Break in the weather

[Chris Dodkin]

It's been a gloomy few days here in California, no blue skies since sometime last week!

Finally, the clouds parted a little today, and we had some patchy sunshine with lovely textured clouds - before the next storm comes in on Wednesday.

Yeah, a bit of unexpected sunshine! I wondered where this was. You sure spend a lot of time up in LA. Thanks for all these examples with the 18mm. Great shots.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Thanks!

Work is nuts at the moment - seem to be in LA 3-4 times a week

Lovely sky ij this one, Chris. Also that lighthouse-like building sure is crisp. You can see the waves in the stucco. Very nice.

 

[Paul Lange]

Nice photo Chris but I won't feel sorry for you. What do you mean it hasn't been sunny since sometime last week! You must be going soft.

 

[Ronald Atchley]

Remarkable tones and crispness. Well seen and well converted.
Actually made me look up info on the X pro 1

Chris, I just love your photography, and always look forward to your latest post. Keep em coming.

it still amazes me the depth you achieve in B&W .... please though tell me that building in the forefront wasn't a burnt red colour

Thanks Davie - Indeed it was a red building!

Thanks Davie - Indeed it was a red building!

I bet it'd look fabulous in colour ... like one of those east coast photos, if you know what i mean

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Thanks guys - the depth dimension from the X-Pro1 is very very good - quite something in fact

Sharpness does not seem to be an issue with any of the the lenses.

brilliant, i'm seeing LL Bean Duckboots, stripe t-shirt and neckerchief i have to say despite the love of your B&W work I prefer the colour of this one

Very nice Chris. Love that sky!
