W/NW Waiting in the shadows

Totaly the wrong kit, IIIb uncoated Elmar 50 and Delta3200 at 1600.<div></div>

Is that a leica in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

[john_shriver]

Yeah, with a lens that only stops down to f/18, and a top shutter speed of 1/1000, you were on the verge of having to overexpose!

 

Could have been worse, you could have chosen to pack a Summar or Summitar, they only stop down to f/12.5!

 

I find it kind of surprising that Leica lenses shorter in focal length than 90mm still have a minimum aperture of f/16. All my Topcon SLR lenses stop down to f/22. Sure, you're going into diffraction territory, but better than overexposing.

Huw... maybe you want to hear something else, but... apart from any camera body and/or lens, this is IMO a great shot, due to your talent in composition.

Huw -- What I like is the gent at right sucking in that stomach to look a bit more trim for the photo.

 

Allen - Very strong lines, shapes, and shadows on yours. That one qualifies as "art." No bs.

 

Dennis - I showed your shot to our little terrier. Here he is smiling, relieved that you made it out of there in one piece -:)<div></div>

Michael,

 

Composition is not my strong point, another learning point, thanks.

Michael,

 

It is covered with a pint glass!, extra field composition perhaps.
