Challenge: Road Signs IV (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Canon EOS-20D
Location: Green / Hyde Streets, San Francisco, CA, USA
Date: Jan 31, 2005
Aperture: f22
ISO: 100
Shutter: 30.0 secs

Date Uploaded: Jan 31, 2005

 The red and green elevated lights belong to the cable car. Shot with a 70-200 f2.8 at f22. Taken across the street at 100mm. I used my Speedlite 420EX, handheld, to illuminate the sign. I tried to illuminate the cable car, to no avail. I could not get any images with the cable car illuminated. I was almost ready to pay him to stop...wish I did. Used PS for USM, slight contrast and slight saturation.

great shot, but the sign is not the focus here.

I like the trails from the car lights, but the sign is a little lost.

Little dark, but VERY cool. If you took a bunch more pics just experimenting, you probably could have exposed it a little better. Nice job though.

The catch lights are amazing...but they take away from your sign for the challenge. 5

The shape of the traffic is very appealing, although the roadsign hardly seems an important element in this photo
