[Leica] IMGS: Some street art in San Jose, CA

[Herbert Kanner]

I guess different artists use different materials, because we went back today to recheck some of them. In the course of that, we revisited one that was so badly faded that the cache owner had to modify the written clue to correspond to something one could clearly see on the painting.

BTW, that Japanese junk called a X100S keeps going periodically into some strange mode where settings change, or cannot be changed when desired. Other than that it is a superb camera, with a totally silent shutter because the diaphragm is the shutter, and a damn good lens with an asph element. All those pictures were so over-exposed that I thought they were trash. But when I put them into LR, it turns out that all the data was there and all I had to do was to shift one slider: exposure. Of course, I added the usually crap: lens correction for perspective, clarity, vibrance, and some sharpening.
