Hold It, Hold It, Hold It! Bronco007, Scott or whatever your name is, everyone on this site knows I'm a recovering Ansel Adams addict. Posting this kind of fine art b&w imagery simply makes my recovery that much harder. To make things worse, you actually used an analog camera and film - Holy Edward Weston!

Seriously my brother, to pull that image out of the often distracting background of Pima is no small feat. Well done

Jeff,

Thanks for the kind words!  Just to clarify, the Fujifilm X100 is in fact a digital camera. It's got a 12MP sensor and a fixed lens (35mm equiv). The sensor has a 1.5 crop factor. Best of all it looks like an old rangefinder. This was my first post to AZAP. Still trying to figure out the user interface.

Scott:

Thanks for the clarification on the camera - am I a dummy or what. Film or digital, that is a tremendous image. To have it be your first is simply unfair to bumbling shooters like me

Can't really say anything that hasn't been said.  Definitely packs a punch.

Spent a bit more time with my AlphaJet shot, like the results much better.

Nicely tweaked Joe...

More from Pima. This one was taken a week after the KB-50.  Storms were once again moving into the area.  I didn't spend any time removing things, in fact there is a father and child near the nosewheel along with the ubiquitous signs.  The signs are strategically placed to foil any serious attempts at photography.  This is the second photo I've posted on AZAP.  I'm slowly trying to remove the "newbie" from my posts...At this rate it might take a while.

Thanks Matt for the nomination of the KB-50!
