Downside Upside

Sunday being the hottest of the year, I decided it would be a good idea to walk up Samis Road with camera gear in tow.



Others had a better idea:

great shots Jas. I love the bench shot - it has a real story to it.

[Marko]

shot 1 for me too - very pensive and good comp. Love the crossed feet! Might also work very well in BW.
I might try sharpening buildings a tad more to see if that might also work, but I do like it very much as is.

Thanks, Bambi and Marko. Here is a B&W version with the buildings sharpened.

That's how the valley rolls. No tricks with the fisheye, here.

Excellent images, all of them. But my fav is the lower part of the bridge .. fantastic.

I agree excellent images. I agree that first one with the bench really tells a story. Looks like a great place to sit and relax and watch the city. Can't choose between the colour and B&W. Like them both.

Couldn't agree more. Nicely done JAS.
