Been a member for a long time so I suppose I should also start contributing home town pics. Been living here for close to 10 yrs now.

Brian, thanks for commenting. Didn't realize there's someone relatively close by. I know there's one guy in north Charlotte and one in Boone but didn't notice there's one in the RTP area.
Raleigh has some pretty good spots for pics. Hope to see some from you as well.

Thanks for your comments.

I had missed this post before, so good that I could pick it up in the rebound. I like the series and you did well with the perspective correction. Also I like the color version a bit better. I understand your personal preference for #5. The squirrel is a great catch! TFS some views on your hometown with us.

Took a lunch time walk around a neighborhood locally called Noda as it's on North Davidson St. It's known a bit as an art district as well as a place that youngsters hang out and has a relaxed atmosphere.
Known for a good bit of garish (I don't mean that disparagingly) wall art.

C&C welcome and appreciated.

A99 plus MAF 28-135, generally between f/8 and f/13.

4. Invitation to trespass?


5. MUST RESIST POPPING OPEN A COLD ONE!!!


6. Perhaps the most popular joint in that neighborhood.


7. Rental bikes are a thing but I'm not sure just how much they're actually used.


8. Fun in the sun.


9. Walking past.


10. Camouflaged lamps.

Thanks!
I'm still new to my A99 and one thing I'm sure that feels different is just how well saturated the colors on a bright and sunny day. It was lunch hour, like I said, and I'm fairly sure my APS-C sensors might have resulted in more washed out images.
I liked the psychedelic colors as well and made for an interesting shoot.

Thanks, Fred.
