We drove into the Bay Area and took BART into The City and then the Muni to the ballpark. Reversing our trip we encountered these youngsters on their way home from the game. I don't shoot this sort of thing often but, B. D.'s images suggested that I at least try. <http://www.adambridge.com/Photos/2005/06/22/BARTgoinghome.jpg> Shot with an M6, 35mm f2 ASPH on Portra 400 UC. I took the picture knowing I was going to make it black and white. I'll have a panorama of SBC park later (maybe). It's surely the finest ballpark on the west coast and surely the equal of Camden Yards. Somehow San Francisco Bay makes an even better backdrop than a brick warehouse. Comments welcome of course. Adam ps: I chose not to take the Canon because the M6 fit my shoulder bag with the binoculars much better. Yes, I DO wish for a digital M. AB
