Ok, one more time. This is a followup to the shots of my parents I posted at the start of this thread. HERE. Sadly, the photos with the old Leica IIIc didn't come out. (Actually, operator error, as I didn't property load the film, and it didn't advance, resulting in a totally blank roll!). My parents came back to town, so we decided to do it again. This time the film was carefully loaded!!
Here's a shot from today with the M8, 35 Cron combo (BTW, my mother was much happier with her clothing choice this time). This is straight out of the camera, and despite the strong backlight, we have good detail.
Here is why, as captured by my wife's cellphone camera. Two of my brothers middle-left, and my brother-in-law, middle-right, all wearing white shirts, are acting as my reflectors! (Maybe it's the bald heads). Our wives all laughed, but it worked! Hey, you use what's available, eh?
The film results later, once I get it developed.
