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 nearby Daly City). If you look closely, the houses don’t quite “all look just the same”, but somehow, viewed 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 138mm 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.
The effect is sort like Where’s Waldo; the whole is shown mainly to invite you into the details.
@mattblaze@federate.social I think my (newish) home is in this photo. from where did you take it?
@palvaro@discuss.systems Bernal Heights
@mattblaze@federate.social thanks. My perspective was all off – I thought the photo was taken from the west, so it had to be diamond Heights or something but none of the streets lined up right
@palvaro@discuss.systems Yeah, this was from the north!
