When looking through Nokia N95 photos to illustrate the previous post, I happened upon a palm portrait that my wife, Anne Wilcox, made using the cameraphone on Sept. 14, 2008. I startled seeing how much shorter was the tree then than I remember seeing recently. So, today, I ambled over to the corner of Adams and North, in my San Diego neighborhood of University Heights, for a fresh pic.
The Featured Image shows how the palm has risen since she shot it (left). Vitals: f/2.8, ISO 100, 1/250 sec, 6mm; 4:10 p.m. PDT. I used iPhone XS for the taller tree (right). Vitals: f/1.8, ISO 25, 1/1992 sec, 26mm (film equivalent); 1:25 p.m.
For another perspective, from the other side of the street, looking West, I used Leica Q2 to show the palm and intersection. Vitals, aperture manually set and photo composed as shot: f/5.6, ISO 100, 1/800 sec, 28mm; 1:27 p.m. Before clicking to enlarge, be warned that the file is 28MB.
