A few weeks back I headed out to Venice beach with my ME SUPER, Velvia 50 a 28, 40 and 50mm lens and this is what I saw. The Velvia has a bit of a funky color shift. Not sure why. Maybe old.
I got there really early in the morning before it got crowded to get the decent Velvia 50 light and open spaces. It was a rare cloudy day in L.A. this day

Still film lives!

Sorry for the long post, but for those who have been fortunate enough to visit Venice beach in L.A., You know what a special and unique place it is. For those who have not, perhaps someday you will and for those who will never see it, here is a bit of it for you

Sorry J, but most of them just look like snapshots. #4 and 24 look nice. But the rest just doesnt seem to have much comp or forethought going on. It seems like you just shoot, shoot, shoot and hope for a winner. Instead of taking the time to set a winner up.

Edit: and less than half of them actually have the beach in them. :er: Beach scenes, not street scenes at the beach...

That's fine and your welcome to your opinion. I am sure there are many who would agree with you and that's fine.
I am a snap shooter and have never claimed to be anything else. I stopped trying to please people like you long ago. I shoot for myself and have found great joy in doing so. This also helps me to enjoy the other 90% of snap shooters images as well.

:thumbup: Indeed, thats what its all about.

It seems like you pick great locations. I dont want you to think Im hating on your stuff. What Im trying to convey is that with as much as you shoot I think you are probably capable of some really "WOW" images. I would like to see what you captured if you spent all day one intersection.

Edit: "people like me" OUCH! :blackeye:
