Long Beach

[Brian Moore]

From the top of Signal Hill.

Left of the trees, on the horizon, that's Catalina Island (26 miles across the sea--according to the song.)

Mamiya 7 and Kodak Portra 800 film (expired).

Love the fine filigree and arches created by the leaves and the branches / fronds. And the soft evening light gives a nice soft edge.

Thanks very much, Pete. My choice of framing was limited by the (non-adjustable) picnictablepod I was using to steady the camera. Still I was quit happy with this image. I'm very impressed with the Mamiya 7. Thanks again, Pete.

I agree, it's a fine camera and capable of astonishingly high resolution, even hand held at low shutter speeds. The image in this thread came from one (with the 65mm lens I think).

I remember that very fine image, Pete. (Looking at that thread I am surprised I see no comment from myself. I think I must have been overwhelmed by the technical explanation.) Great stuff.

Lovely image, Brian, and a real Mamiya feel to it. Beautiful.

That's so wonderfully smooth Brian - lovely glow to the light as well
