    @mattblaze@federate.social But are those pixels made of ticky tacky?

      @SteveBellovin@mastodon.lawprofs.org Ticky tacky is an approved construction material for earthquake zones, evidently.

    @mattblaze@federate.social It does not get the full impact without the pastel colors of the houses.

      @karlauerbach@sfba.social I’m more interested in shapes and lines than in colors.

        No lines but Aurora Australis in b&w.

        B&W is a different form of photography, for sure.

    @mattblaze@federate.social Love the photo, and especially the caption. I feel a bit less normal about all the times I’d look up at a Bay Area hillside and hear Pete Seeger in my head. I’m still not sure what “ticky tacky” is, though.

    Captured with the Rodenstock 138mm/6.5 HR Digaron-SW lens (@ f/7.1), Phase One IQ4-150 back (@ ISO 50, 1/125 sec), Cambo WRS 1250 camera. Stitched panorama of two images, shifted left and right +/- about 18mm.

    This view reminded me of Malvina Reynolds’s famous 1962 song (though she was inspired by another San Francisco neighborhood - Daly City). If you look closely, the houses don’t quite “all look just the same”, but somehow, on the hillside there’s more uniformity than there is up close.

      This is an image that works best at the highest resolution. The Rodenstock 135mm lens has extraordinary edge-to-edge sharpness and a general lack of distortion that makes it especially well suited to wide stitched panoramas like this one.

      @mattblaze@federate.social my late wife introduced me to that song in Australia and now I cannot get it out of my head whenever I’m going to/from SFO!

      @mattblaze@federate.social I used to sing that in lower school where I grew up in London, and it was only after I moved to SF decades later that someone told me it was a song about Daly City. I think I share much the same sentiment as Reynolds. Decades later I have this view from my window.

      (Also, this photo stood out because it looks like it’s taken from neighborhood)

        @jripley @mattblaze same, I did a double take because not many pictures of the city I see on here look they could have been taken from OMI 😂

      @mattblaze@federate.social This is great. When I was growing up, whenever we drove through this section of SF or Daly City it would inspire my Mom to start singing this song.
