Wow, tons of great stuff in there. Good work. If I may, when I shoot very bright contrasty scenes I always shoot 2/3 to one stop underexposed. I turn my in camera contrast all the way down (to avoid blowing highlights...the light is contrasty enough by itself) and turn the sharpness and saturation all the way up. That keeps the pictures from looking too washed out in the harshest light.

Good job Adam. You've got some pretty cool angles in there I haven't thought of. Thats one thing I really like about photography, you could give 100 people the same camera and send em down town all together, everyone "sees" different things/angles to shoot. Lots of good ones in there, Id weed out the blurry and the missed cause driving shots. Laughing

I like the ones in SOMA, especially the one from in SOMA looking up 11th, sweet. Thanks for sharing these.

I have a FinePixA345 from FujiFilm. It has settings like portrait, landscaping, sports, nights, etc. We should talk more at the forum meet. It's kind of something I want to do as a hobby. Thanks again Chris.

I have to say here - Chris turned me on to PE - when was it? - last year. I still have to learn all of it - but it is fantastic. Highly Recommended! Thanks Chris.

Hella cool!

That is an odd street sign on 14th Street - but I guess that's what happens when you have a 4-lane one-way street that just dead-ends. The other street I think is funny is Douglas Street, when it dead-ends at 8th Street with 3 lanes.

Wow. What a great comprehensive tour! Although I don't really care for some of the suburbia shots, good work! And I bet you got a great work out and broke a sweat.

Hey thanks guys! I have removed all the surburban, blurry, and drive-by pics. Also added a comment that I was originally going to have, but lost it in the mumbo-jumbo.
