Nice. Pot Hill?

No idea what it's called, but it's on the top of Texas St.

Thanks!

Get yourself a Rokinon 14mm or a 17-40 at least, 90% of my shots are taken wider than 35mm.

Kenny's signature shows he's shooting with a cropped sensor. The 17-40 isn't going to buy him very much in the wide angle area since he's already got an 18-55.
Not sure about the quality of the Rokinon 14. But I'm pretty sure it can't beat the Canon 10-22.

Yep.
Totally forgot about updating my signature, just upgraded to a 7D a week or so ago.
The 10-22 is a sweet lens, but completely out of my budget. I've been scouring ebay for a decently priced one, but to no avail yet.
I was considering getting the Rokinon 8mm, which is a nice lens as well.

I sold my T3i and kit lens to upgrade, so as of now, I have nothing wider than the 40.
But I've ordered a 18-55mm STM lens, I've been playing with it at bestbuy and it's not a bad lens at all for the price I paid; reviews seems really good too.

Very nice one, Kinneykid. Looks a lot like a Bill Taylor shot. Very sharp.

Congrats on the upgrade.

Yes, Texas Street is up on the top of Potrero Hill. Also known as Pot Hill.

Oh. When you said Pot Hill I figured you meant Hippie Hill in GG park. Which has no view anything like that.

LOL. It's also known as Pot Hill from all the pot that people grow in that part of town.
Very close competition to The Haight.

Lmao, my first thought was, a hill where people just smoked pot...

and sorry, but who is bill taylor? lol

I thought the gate into this spot is locked. Is there a gate to get down to this spot? I went up there last time but had to turn back because I couldn't find the staircase to go down.

Yep, parked where all the tourists stand by with their point and shoots.
Ran onto the road, and down the hill, was a long hike, but worth it.

I should have mentioned earlier; the area is off-limits, please go at your own risk.
There are no stairs, just a dangerous highway, some cliffs, and a steep dirt hill.

Yeah, it is pretty sketchy but the view there is amazing, probably moreso in person than via the pictures I took. I need to go back with my TS-E 24.

Looked through his stuff, pretty decent.
I like his perspectives, but not particularly his style.
I do follow David Yu, though.

Yes. Potrero Hill. AKA Pot Hill. I have image from a few years ago from the same spot.

Why not?
Perhaps get like a group hike down the hill.
People driving by will just see a crowd of photographers walking down the side of the highway like wtf is going on? lol
