W/NW Pic o' the Week # 24

<p>Here we go again. Last week seemed a little light on photos, but then thats how things sometime cycle through. I hope our little thread isn't beginning to boor people, but be that as it may, its that time to put them up. If people are swinging by to take a look, please take a moment to post a favorite pic. I'll start off with what I think of as surrealistic. There's an element that reminds of the beginning of "Who Killed Roger Rabbit", if any of you remember that film. Let see what you have this week. <img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/17826334-lg.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p>Barry, your pic o' the week is the<strong> only</strong> reason I visit the Leica forum anymore.</p>

<p>Thanks Elmo, (the check's in the mail). but maybe you need new glasses? But really I see a lot of great photos here with maybe a different perspective than us street/docu types, including yours. I just wish more people would throw-in only because this is maybe the single longest photo sharing thread on P.Net (guessing) and I'm seeing less participation. Maybe its just a current thing, but I'd like to see more photos.</p>

<p>Never was one for Fishing, but it occurred to me that in essence we're doing the same thing in Photography.</p><div></div>

<p>Color Rocks Don. Ive had some good color results with that film. <img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/11505114-lg.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p>Leica M 240 + Summicron 28/2 Asph. Major crop.</p><div></div>

<p>Brad, I really, really like your shot. I love the soft and somewhat spooky feel of that picture. Can you please tell me what gear you used for it?<br>

Barry, w/nw is pretty much the only reason I am visiting this Leica forum, so here is my entry as well (MP, 50 mm 'cron, Neopan 400).<br>

Thanks, Emir - appreciate it. Cam is a Fuji X-T1 with a 10-24mm f/4 lens. But it's really about how I post-process.

<p>Well, now that Brad has crossed the line and posted a Fuji photograph...</p><div></div>

<p>" But really I see a lot of great photos here with maybe a different perspective than us street/docu types"</p>

<p>Me too. I think sometimes we can be a bit lost in a certain genera we like.</p>

<p>Ray, is supporting the thread with three posts;)</p><div></div>

<p>No, I meant this weekly thread is the only reason I visit the Leica forum. The photos are often wonderful, no matter what 'genre' they fall under....I'll still keep that check when it arrives though, Barry.</p>

<p>Hmm, since two Fuji images have already been posted...</p><div></div>

<p>Yeah I like that as well Brad. </p>

<p>...</p><div></div>

<p>Really good to see Ray posting he has always been one of my special Photographers.</p>

<p>This forum, from my memory. has always been open to non Leica gear....its about the spirit of Leica Photography: you don't need a Leica to go to that place.</p>

<p>I agree, and its great to see Brad posting as well. Ray's 3 photos are some of the best this week!.</p>

<p>If my memory serves me right.....once upon a time Brad actually used a Leica...a little one.</p>

<p>So, he has the Leica spirit.</p>

<p>Rays BW film images, for me, were something special...very special.</p>

<p>I have still got one foot in film...jeez, Im not even that old.</p>
