Just a test of the viability of some Provia RDP II that expired in the late 90's. Had a lot of red in the shadows but that's all:

LA Smog; 2013 by CKeth, on Flickr
Thanks for your kind comments, gents! They really are appreciated.
Bryan: That's a pretty lonesome looking spot: I like 'lonesome'. It looks like the old Provia held up pretty well considering it's age.
Christopher, your shot of LA sure brings home the reality of the place.

Thank you, Preston. This is one subject I like to kind of tell it like it is. No skewing needed.Quote:

Driving into LA from the north, it's amazing how noticeable the smog is. The color of the light changes, it gets darker, the air becomes visible - it's kind of creepy. Almost as creepy is that Angelenos and other big-city dwellers accept this as part of life. I feel truly sorry for people who live in Beijing.
But if you look straight up, the sky is blue, so it can't be as bad as in other areas of LA! Denial aint a river...
