Thanks folks. That's a new sign on a building that just got a new facade, about a block and a half from where I live, so I walk past it a lot. I've been thinking since I saw it that there should be a good photograph in it somewhere, and I've tried a few before this one. This is the first one that worked. I even shot it twice yesterday, once on my way out and once on my way back an hour and a half or so later, and this one was on the way back - the sun was just right. Kind of a cool design, because the 1, 2, 3 is frontward from one direction and backward from the other, but since the prevailing sun is from the south, they designed it so that for the relatively short time of day (and year) that there's a defined shadow, the numbers show up right in the shadow. Sort of cool.
Soundfanz, these were shot with the Ricoh GXR with the 28mm module (the only module I have or want of what's available). I often go out with the X-100 around my neck and the GXR in my pocket. The X100 is a really fun camera to shoot with, but I'm just more of a 28mm kind of guy - seems to be my sweet-spot focal length.
