Tuesday, September 11, 2007 – Full On Sun

Some technical studies using the mid-afternoon September sun, on the Sunset Strip, the south side of the 8900-9000 block of Sunset Boulevard – working on depth, perspective, color and framing, and testing the limits of the digital processor.

The coffee-juice bar at Hustler Hollywood, reflecting the billboards above the Whisky a Go-Go across the street –

A west-facing building wrap from HBO, advertizing "Curb Your Enthusiasm" –

An eye on a nearby billboard, flooded by the direct sun –

Hustler Hollywood, framed with care –

A color study – sign at a rather good sushi place, if you don't mind celebrities –

Between the sushi and Hustler, the answer to everything.

If you wish to use any of these photos for commercial purposes I assume you'll discuss that with me. And should you choose to download any of these images and use them invoking the "fair use" provisions of the Copyright Act of 1976, please provide credit, and, on the web, a link back this site.

Technical Note:

Most of these photographs were shot with a Nikon D70 - using lens (1) AF-S Nikkor 18-70 mm 1:35-4.5G ED, or (2) AF Nikkor 70-300mm telephoto, or after 5 June 2006, (3) AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor, 55-200 mm f/4-5.6G ED. They were modified for web posting using Adobe Photoshop 7.0.  Earlier photography was done with a Sony Mavica digital still camera (MVC-FD-88) with built-in digital zoom.
