compilerbitchHere is the first batch of photos from Mountain View, all shot with my diddy new Panasonic Lumix LZ5.
Castro Street
The B&W conversion here is a bit weird -- I used channel mixer in Photoshop CS with blue set heavily negative to darken the sky. It doesn't look good in the thumbnail, but the bigger version is OK.
Mountain View Alleyway
More B&W messing about.
My new apartment
This architectural shot is actually inside my new apartment. It's right on Castro Street, there's a Starbucks actually in the building effectively, and my favourite bookshops are about a 4 minute walk.
Castro again
This was shot looking down the road, standing outside the Scientology shop/church/warren/nest/hive/whatever/thingy.
Chicken Katsu
Hawaiian fast food, anyone? It is basically, well, schnitzel. With dip that tastes extremely close to mango chutney.
Fountain
This is more or less below my apartment (slighty along a bit).
I see mountains!
This is a (fairly narrow) view from my bedroom window.
Crappy pano of the big windows in the living room
My apartment has a hugely high ceiling in the living room. This is a craply rapidly thrown together pano (the Lumix isn't nearly wide enough).
Lounge windows
Another arty architectural shot.
Outside the apartment
Another bad pano, but it gives you the idea. The top left balcony that you can see is mine.
