Hi Folks:

I went to Telegraph Hill on Friday to shoot some photos with the 1000,
500, 300 and 200mm Takumars.

It was fairly clear for an August day, but there was still just enough
moisture in the atmosphere to show up in the distance shots where it
seems to be compressed along with everything else in the photos.

Some of you may remember this photo taken a year ago today with the
500mm when it was hazy and foggy:

To give you an idea as to how far away I was, here's a photo taken from
about the same spot last year with a normal 50mm lens on my Leica R8:

Here's yesterday's photos:

The white lighthouse, Boston Light, is a bit over a mile away and the
gray one, Grave Light, is over 3 miles away.

I had hoped to include a photo or two of a passing ship, but there
weren't any for the two hours that I was on the hill.

And last, here's a shot taken with the ArsatGraflex, the lighthouses are 
out there at about the middle of the horizon:
