As I was putting my new flash unit and tripod away my 4 year old shouts " Wait!!"

Me " whats wrong??!!!"

her " I want to take a picture of you cos you are never in any"

so now I have a 4 yr old holding a leica m8 attached with a short cord to a tripod with a flash on it, what couold go wrong!! Not much apparently , I looked off to the side to eliminate flash reflections off my glasses and she snapped 3 of me

as she took the 3rd shot she exclaims " OK thats good, you can put the stuff away now , bye"

lol

( yes I know its out of focus slightly, but she is after all only 4 , she did hold the camera quite strangely, she had her face behind the M8 and used her LEFT eye for the viewfinder )

Mike: Nice!!!

Thanks Dude, appreciated.

I know the feeling, but my eyesight is such that if I don't use my left eye then I don't see anything :ROTFL:

So....last post was 14 hrs ago :wtf: Is everyone on holiday?

I'll keep things ticking over then. Back on the streets today, and a successful one even if I say so myself.

ok here we go, lets see how these turned out, we have had a lot of Crows and Ravens eating the worms after grass cutting at work, and the Ravens are scavenging from peoples pickup trucks and cars with open windows!


this is a Crow I think, as soon as I raised the elmarit 135 I think it assumed it was a gun...........

original is here


the next 3 are a raven that was munching on some garbage until i put the lens on him, same ting, I could walk close , but as soon as I put up that long black tele .......peeeoooowww

the full sized shots have better definition on the birds, but Im sure 3000 x 1900 jpgs are againstthe rulez

Let me know what you think, as trying to catch the focus of flying birds was quite a challenge!

I forgot to mention that these were all at f 2.8 but the EXIF is showing f 1.0 to f1.4 ( very sunny day!)

Very cool, Matt.

Especially like the angles of the walls and the hidden musician. Special concerts for smokers?

 

[DavidE]

Really fine set, Joe.

These two are super. Great composition and processing on both. Bravo!

 

[DavidE]

Pt II

An excellent set, boymerang. This is the standout one for me.

 

[DavidE]

I always love your street shots, Mike. This is my favorite of the bunch.

 

[DavidE]

Cool photos, Robert. Who needs a telephoto when you can crop a Leica image?

The cropping works especially well with this one.

 

[DavidE]

These Vegas shots are absolutely stunning..... especially like thee two

Fantastic in your classic style, david. Love the patterns and light and dark play, as well as the hint of the figure in the background...

David: Nope, isn't like our mall! I've been there. Odd place, well photographed here. The Griffin's an odd sculpture for a shopping center? The Cosmopolitan's a bit boggling and the Mirage's is empty(?). Easy to visualize the Ratpack in that cocktail lounge. Actually seems very lively devoid of people. Cool. +1 to Ashwin's comment.

David, You & The 24Lux Are Like One! Outstanding

David, very nice B&W shots with the 24Lux.

Thanks Shiro, Ashwin, Matt, Steve, and Joe.

You guys are posting amazing images, so it means a lot to have your feedback and support.

Still scavenging through the April Vegas shots.

Here are two from the Luxor. Not much light in there.

 

[DavidE]

Two more from the Luxor.

Had to try the Elvis statue again at the Aria. I'll keep shooting it until I get it right.
