W/NW 2020 Pic-O'-The-Week #38

Thank you to all who contributed to weeks 36-37. This week's W/NW thread #38 begins with some recently processed snaps with my M[9] Monochrom (Mission San Juan Capistrano) - July 2015.

 

Now let's keep it going! Leica usage is optional.

 

50mm Zeiss Planar ZM

Leica M4, 90mm Elmarit-M, on Kodak TMY2

Greg, forgot all about halloween, tempting to make a mask joke here.

 

 

Couple from a hike last June.

August, 2020, Leica M9, Summicron 90mm F2

The congressional delegation (led by the US Congress-woman Ilhan Omar) paying their respect at the site of killing of George Floyd (Minneapolis, MN, USA, early June 2020). A lot of bad things have happened since then in the Twin Cities, and there hasn't been much improvement. On the contrary, things only got worse.

That first shot is good, Rick. Exceptionally good. Frame it. Regards. There was an old song, 'Stairway to heaven': 'There are two paths we can go by...etc'. I think it was Led Zeppelin. That shot would grace its cover. Bravo.

Thanks Stric1975. That is a quite moving shot. My view here in Oz is constrained by what the media tells me. And its not good in America. Keep safe, and well. That's about all I can say. Regards, Arthur (apiarist1)

So my offering. I have not been out this week, so they are old, and were probably posted before. My thought last week to exercise my M6 was disrupted. So.

 

A badly composed, and badly timed shot on my monochrom:

 

 

Another. I think it was at a party we were at. Age wearies and the years do condemn:

 

 

 

And a shot from a visit to Yulara. I think every country has their own sacred places. Places where you can go and soak in the numinous of life, whatever your faith commitments. Many, of indigenous origin. I stood in a grove of casuarinas and could hear the wind sing, strange, haunting songs. I planted casuarinas in my backyard to try and emulate that, with little success (if nothing else, I'll post a photo of those next fortnight). This one with a rarely used M246. It's been artificially vignetted:

 

 

Keep safe, keep well. Regards, Arthur (apiarist1)

Epson R-D1, Leitz Summitar 50/2 LTM (1952)

I still miss my Epson R-D1. Always loved how it rendered colors like in your images, Fabio.

A couple of shots from this night's 'meal out'. Done with with a M 240 color . Picked it up thinking it was my monochrom. I think you'll like the color cast. The performer first:

 

 

 

 

And some of the audience:

 

 

 

And an intoxicated accompanier. Pissed as a newt, but he could still keep rhythm:

 

 

The b&w on the M 240 leaves a lot to be desired. Still have to try and get the M6 going.

Hi JDMvW. Is that a B-26? If you know? ahh never mind, I can look it up. Like the pic, also Arthur is kicking it! and Fabio's and Luiz, always so solid.

Aaaach, it looks more like a B-25, but I wonder how it came by the Nipon decals. I had an uncle that flew in a version of that plane all across North Africa including campaigns in Italy and then their crew got transferred to India where they both bombed in SE Asia I believe he said Burma, or flew supplies into China. I just didn't realize it had a tail gun. Please correct me if I have it wrong :)

It's a B-25 model in the "Commemorative Air Force"

The tail gunner was awarded to "kills", therefore the decals were placed on his posistion.
