Critique Welcomed Bungalow With Cat & Parking Meters

[Brian Moore]

On 5th Street in Huntington Beach, California. (The only single family residential home I know of with parking meters out front.)

Olympus XA3 and Kodak Ultramax 400 film.

Just the title alone had be clicking through to look

What a wonderful vista - not sure how I'd feel about meters out front!

Very sharp pic Brian - The Oly produces a lovely image

 

[Brian Moore]

Thanks, Chris. The wee Oly is a nice camera. This is the XA3, with the lens that is considered inferior to the one in the XA. I also like the Kodak Ultramax 400 film. Thanks again, Chris!

Brilliant title. Brilliant shot. I hope the cat didn't get your registration number though!

Thanks, Pete.

That pussy was eyeing me warily as I approached intending to optimize the image by filling the frame. I was beginning to think it was going to behave like Monty Python's rabbit, so I ran away.

wonder if the family has to pay or if they get a parking pass. that would suck, can't imagine it's a good selling point for the real estate agent. nice find though.

 

[Brian Moore]

Same thought occurred to me. There's an allay behind the house, though. I imagine they park back there somehow. Anyway, thanks Beth!

Thanks, Pete.

Just whip out the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch ... remember that "5 is right out"

Is it just me or is this ever so slightly crooked? Based on the bottom of the porch gable, I keep thinking it needs a nudge counter-clockwise. Thought about B&W, nice strong red filter on the sky?

I think you're right about the crookedness, Keith. (But my excuse is that I was preparing to run away at the time I snapped the picture!)
