I lost my photos of this place. I need directions on how to get back.

Check in my pictures on my myspace.com page. You basically take 237 to Alviso (Almost to Great America). Park in town near the railroad tracks and start walking. It is supposed to be off limits now so watch out for park rangers. You should be ok.

Thanks for the comment. It was fun shooting these pictures. I had about 3 rolls from that trip, by my ex in NJ has all of my pictures. I had these scanned and on a CD, so I was able to upload them.

hmm...ok things I like: I love the texture of the weeds. They look like a soft bed that would cradle you to sleep. I love the texture of the buildings too. Very rustic..beautiful. It's a nice contrast.

But, I would like to see a little more definition in the sky...perhaps not so grayish. Hmm...I have to think about it some more.

It really good though. Your composition is just right I think. It's pretty much in third which makes for a nice symmetric picture.

This shot has always bothered me. I think I was using a red filter at the time, but a polarizer might have made a difference. I really want to go back down there for another shoot. I may have better luck next time. Thanks again for your always wonderful comments. I really appreciate your input.

hmmm...using a red filter? I think you've hit the nail on the head when it comes to using a polarizer. I think that would have made an already beautiful shot even that more remarkable.
