No hood in this photo but a yellow Rollei filter (-1 filter factor). I do have a Rollei hood but no photos of it yet. I haven't noticed a difference between photos I used the hood for and photos I didn't use the hood for, but I do see a difference when I use the yellow filter vs. when I don't use a filter.
I have a green filter and a red filter as well, but I am not sure what the green filter would give me that the yellow filter doesn't already, and the red filter is rather scratched up.

Melanie .... ever thought of working without any filters at all ....
Try to compensate the filter use by composure.... and trying to use the elements filters would enhance or reduce in the composition of your image .....

Ted,
You can order Peets on "The Internets". There's nothing quite like picking up a pound of fresh beans and getting a free cup of the ultra-strong brew that comes with it, though....

Hi Ted,
There's a lot of food that it's impossible (or nearly so) to find decent versions of here in San Francisco (i.e., bagels, that are real bagels, and not fluffy; pizza that is real pizza and not some flat gourmet thing that pretends to be pizza but isn't; a Philly cheesesteak), but I will admit that I have become a fan of Peets. Oh, and also of sourdough bread, and artichokes. And really fresh sushi. And the fact that it never gets really hot, and never gets really cold, and smells like eucalyptus in the morning, and that nature is ridiculously accessible...
Is it worth the constant fear of earthquakes and the fact that practically everywhere I want to go is six hours farther away by plane than it was when I lived on the east coast? Actually, I'm not sure yet. For the most part I'd say this city was designed specifically for me to live in, but I am also a total east coast person at heart and well, it's really different here from home.
I just need to earn a lot more money so that I can at least fly first class when I have to travel.

Thanks, Mark. I'll check out the site.
Melanie - didn't know you were a right-coast person. I remember David's and Soloman's as having pretty good bagels. In SF the bread is great. Don't know if the Ukranian bakery is still going (corner of something and either Polk or Filmore) but their bread was world-class.
Oddly, here in Bisbee we have some outstanding restaurants for a town of 6,500. Cafe Roka, Santiago's, and the Copper Queen Hotel.
Then there's this little hole-in-the-wall in Brewery Gulch across from my studio that serves serious fish tacos....

Melanie and Ted - I had the same reaction to the image of Peet's coffee. Funnily enough, I too am a CA expatriate and also have an M.A. from San Francisco State Univ.! My wife and I lived in the inner Sunset - we miss it every day!
We still have lots of friends there and are residents for tax purposes, so we visit sometimes, too.
Cheers,
