The All New More and More Fun With Digital M Images

[Alnitak]

Nice stuff. Too bad you have to suffer along with such inferior equipment... try to make the most of it.

Be careful where you shoot. Lots of folks have been stopped by police in London for the serious crime of merely using a camera! Check this out:

Funny you should mention that. I have a Leica-shooting friend over here who was at that event. And...I was stopped by a guy from building security when I was shooting the picture of the telephone booth. I didn't take any crap from him for several reasons: He was away from his building; the booth was outside my office building, and he was from several buildings down; it was on a public street; and I know my UK photography rights since I come here and shoot a lot. Regardless, he felt the need to continue to harass me.

It's tough times using such low-budget equipment, but I get by. :ROTFL: Actually, its an awesome combo for night-time street shooting.

I have returned to M photography. Sorry to have been away for so long. Just a lowly M8, I only got to play with an M9 for two weeks for my review.

Welcome back, Carlos. Lovely image, wonderful color. (I suppose one can limp along with a lowly M8. I know it works for me. )

Thanks, Steve, Cindy, Matt, and Kurt.

Jaap, the color treatment works well with the broken-down industrial subjects. Then again, I’ve never seen you post a bad photo. You do post everything you shoot, right?

Matt, I’ve said it before (and I’ll say it again), you have to do a photo book on Pike Place. Great use of the 24lux.

Kurt, I can’t wait to see what you’ll do with the Noctilux. The third image from the impromptu 20 minute shoot is a real knockout (as is the model).

Steve, the photo with the smoker is one of the best portraits I’ve seen in quite a while.

Bart, love the still life. Great color and sharpness, but most of all, a perfectly balanced composition. Wow!

Jeff, looking forward to many fine images from London. Let us know if we need to bail you out of jail. Don’t forget, mind the gap.

These are simply beautiful b/w images, Steve.

Never thought I'd say this, but I like that top one better as a digital image than the one you shot with film. :wtf:

Appreciate it Double L!

Thanks, Steve, Cindy, Matt, and Kurt.

Wow, some excellent work here in the past couple of pages:


4. Steve: Woah! Great, great stuff. I love the portrait of the South Boston smoker...amazing, one of my fav portraits of all time, I suspect. Just so evocative!!!

Thanks, Steve.

Welcome to the Leica forum, dierk. And welcome back, Carlos.

I'm panning for gold this weekend by looking through the old files. Lots of fool's gold, but there's an occasional gem.

These are from an October trip to New York.

Re: What's Up?

Hoi Jaap,
then these shots should be familiar to you ...
But what brought you to the NDSM yard ?
krgds.

A photographers' paradise imo

Nice, and very nicely composed. Was there flash involved here?

Taken at sunset. The shadow of a large rock has reached the ground but the bush is still illuminated by sunlight. Lasted about 10 second when the bush turned dark. I was lurking around the moving terminator of the shadow looking for something like this.
