Looking down California Street, San Francisco
Lens: HD DA 16-85 Camera: K-S2 Photo Location: San Francisco ISO: 100 Shutter Speed: 1/500s Aperture: F5.6

I was riding on a cable car, and it stopped for a few seconds at California street in the middle of the intersection. Snapped this, and I really like how it turned out. This was my first real travel with the 16-85, and it really did nicely.

This one I may actually print.

A really nice shot Kozlok! You should print it, it is classic SF. Well done.

I would too, it's a classic and without ugly distractions in the scene (think dump ruck).

Edit: Just had a look on flickr, boy is that sharp too.

The day after this I had a rental car, and did my best McQueen impression on some of these hills. They are mighty frightening even at speeds a lot slower that Bullitt's.

Good for you... trust you had the same engine sounds going on a 6.4-liter V-8 engine.

I did, but they were coming out of my mouth as the wee 4 cylinder puttered along. It was a Ford at least...

Apparently the internet is suggesting that... "The sounds emitted by the Mustang suggest a lot of double-clutching -- something that would not have been needed with a '68 Ford transmission. McQueen confirmed that the sweet racket of the car's engine and transmission were overdubbed recordings of a Ford GT40 driven at full tilt."
