Thanks, Jim.
I had Leica and Canon items with me, and used 21 to 200mm focal
lengths. After scanning, I straightened the buildings :-). I can't
stand to see them keystoning. Since I used to do everything I could
before Photoshop came along to straighten them, such as tilting the
film stage & easel in printing, I do the same now digitally. These
web images aren't fixed fully, as I didn't spend too much time on
them. The correction isn't quite good enough for print purposes, and
I would also fix some of the geometric distortion caused by one of
the Canon zooms I used.
It would have been nice to be able to take some of these with a 4x5,
but I didn't have that with me or ready, and the Leica/Canon stuff
was in the trunk. Also, the light was changing rapidly, and I was
running in and out of traffic. Not easy with a 4x5.
In the early 70's when moved to Vancouver we had a lot more foggy
days, due to higher levels of particulates, but now we're lucky to
get 3 or 4 days a year. Today is foggy again, but it looks a lot
different, and I doubt I'll be able to take pictures like yesterday.
And, there's other stuff I have to do.
