Flipped out in Oakland, a photo from California, West

Photographer's Note

When i spent a week in San Francisco, it was long enough where I could rent a car and spend a day in Oakland.

Without getting too sidetracked, driving a car in the downtown San Francisco area at night is a massive challenge! Have you ever tried driving on the same streets as trains and railcars? Its nerve racking! Hard to tell which lane is for cars and which are for the trains! anyways....

This is s very simple scene, its just 2 low rise buildings with the outside structure being glass. I then rotated the image so that the lines run vertical instead of horizontal. Hope you like it.
Cheers
Craig

Hi Craig,

always a charming motive, such lines and structures, as you show us today..and for sure a good idea to rotate the picture, think it´s getting more power this way!

thanks for sharing, see you around, cheers Bernd

Hello Craig,
Nice and simple. I actually had to read the note to understand what you had done.
As concerning driving among trams, you're most welcome to visit Europe.
Best regards,
Gert

ciao Craig,
mi piace questa geometria con le linee che si sviluppano in diagonale.
Buono lo sharp e la definizione,
un saluto

I think you have a very "well trained eye" to capture similar graphic details....

Hi Craig,

Because this was taken last summer in California, I presume the answer is "n"! :)

But a fine graphical image - after reading your note, I just had to turn my computer on its side and check! Lovely simple straightforward composition, fine colours, perfect exposure and your usual exquisite sharpness.

Brilliant!

Kind Regards,

John.

Anche capovolto il gioco colori e geometrie ha un effetto scenico notevole.
Bianchi in evidenza e saturazione del bleu ...nel loro "spettro" di frequenza ottica.

Hi Craig
cleverly conceived this and effective. The mixture of blues and lines here are compelling and irresistable. Creative stuff Craig it works perfectly.

Warm wishes - Brian.

Hello Craig
I do like it! In fact I'm a big fan of your abstract architecturals, and I notice that you too look regularly and the work of JFS. To my mind you're both mining a similar, and very graphic, seam of imagery. Keep taking those snaps! The flipping is effective too.
Regards
Will
