Critique Welcomed The California Flag on a Windy Day

[Brian Moore]

Hermosa Beach, California. Minox 35GT with expired Fuji 200 film.

Looking south.



A few moments later...Same camera, same film, same processing, same scanning.

Looking north.

 

[Rense Haveman]

but other position...

Great shots, both quite moody.....

 

[Pete Askew]

What a wonderful pair of shots. I especially likest first, with these blazing through the flag. And the wind in the second.

The leaves on the palm trees show the strength of the wind very clearly. I like a good bracing wind

Have you learned to pronounce the l in palm yet, Brian? I believe Americans haven't heard of a silent l. But I suppose if it's silent, you wouldn't hear it anyway...

They call them "pom" trees, Rob. They know their silent Ls around these parts.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Very good. I have a friend from New England, who pronounces the l. Insists that's the way it is. Polm.

 

[Dave Farnes]

Great pair of images. Remarkable that they were both taken at the same time; they look as if they were taken in different decades.

 

[Pete Askew]

That's why the film had expired!

New Englanders talk funny, Rob.

Its some kind of mad time warp, Pete. Photography induces that.
