Favorite photo

[virgil]

Hello chaps.

 

<p>

 

I'd like to see your one favorite photo taken on Leica M and 35mm lens.

 

<p>

 

O.K?

 

<p>

 

Get it sorted'

[james_.1]

Seeings how the only lens I have now is the 35 lux (see post below),

and I haven't gotten one digitized yet, I'll post something within a

couple weeks. What a combo though! Post yours though!

[virgil]

I going to wait and see if any are worse than mine!

I can hear the Mozart! Er, maybe it's the Leica interpreting in

Deutsche. Great photo. Want to see more from others, enjoyed the

folder though.

[virgil]

I just had a look at the folder too.Just great! I love that style of

photography.

[anam_alpenia]

Oustanding - what did you use?

[virgil]

I reckon 35mm lux' at about 1.7 on XP2 film?

[anam_alpenia]

You think you would have cought that on 'cron f2 ASPH? I'm

having scond thoughts about buying the 'lux, but shoots like

yours can burn holes in pockets. That extra stop, well, can

create wonders! It always seems I need a little more light.

[james_.1]

Hmn, just wait til the rumored 35 f/1.2 comes out. That is if the

rumors are true.

[anam_alpenia]

and I win the lottery......I also wake up sweating after dreams

involving candles and the Noctilux...well, a man's reach should

extend his grasp, else what are dreams for (or something like

that)

[angus_ngtg]

I can't say it's my absolute favorite but it's one of my recent

favorites.

Not absolute favourites, but some 35 Summicron photos I am pleased with.

How about a similar thread with the Leica and 50mm lens?

[kristian dowling]

Well I haven't had this lens long (Summilux 35mm f/1.4

Aspherical- 1st edition), but this is probably my favourite. Not

because it is a symbol of photographic excellence but becuase it

portrays the subject (a boy selling flowers) in the exact way I saw

him. Nothing creative really. Just a nice shot. Check out the other

sin the folder too if you like. You might prefer another instead.

Lutz,<br>

The <a href="http://www.konermann.net/gallery/gallery.html">milk

bottle</a> is fan-ta-bul-ous! Stairway, receptionist, car wash, high mtn

scene, all very nice too

[lutz]

Thanks for your comments, everybody. As for the violinist - I used a 35

pre-asph lux which I then owned for a second time - and sold again for

a second time! That half stop it gave me over the cron (wouldn't have

used it wide open for the extreme flare it produces) just didn't seem

to justify the expense and the close-up focussing restriction to 0.9

meters - but then again... it *does* have some bokeh and a way to

handle halftones, that makes me wonder whether I made a mistake selling

it - twice... ;o)

[kristian dowling]

ok I have found my favourite. this is a photo of the friend just

before she tied the knot. Her parents wanted one last look at her

face before they gave her away.

Kristian,<br>

Was <a

r

image</a> in daylight? It doesn't look so, but you don't mention using a

filter.

[kristian dowling]

I hate using filters, except protective ones. I shot it at about 8am

using slight natural light from a window to the right of the father

and the room's lighting from the ceiling. I actually used fuji ASA

400 Superior pushed to 800, which didn't work out as good as I'd

hoped because it was local film- "nice and hot". Not as good as

NPH 400 I've used in the past.

Hi, Virgil:

 

<p>

 

My only 35mm Leica is an old Summaron 3.5cm, f3.5 with "eyes".

 

<p>

 

Since I'm still learning how to use my M3s most of the time I use the

lens I feel more confortable with and it happens to be an equally old

5cm Cron so I don´t have many 35mm pictures to show but <a

href="http://www.photo.net/photo/295335"> this

photo</a> is the one I prefer in 35mm so far.

 

<p>

 

35mm is kind of a tricky focus lenght for me. I find much easier to

use a 28mm (maybe 35mm is still too close to 50mm but different ?).

At least that is the way it is in my SLR experience . . . still left

to see RFwise.

 

<p>

 

Regards, Virgil

This is a photo that while not a favorite, is one that I remember for

the danger involved. I am hesitant to post this, because it is

really a shot snapped by my girlfriend, simply because I wanted to be

in the shot (that is me in the cross-walk). I did pick the spot for

the photo, set the f-stop and shutter speed, and set the lens for the

hyper-focus setting, but Kimi did press the shutter release, so I

guess it is her photo.

 

<p>

 

The Traffic on Abby Road in London is terrible, and to make it worse,

the spot where the photographer stands (with his or her back to the

on-coming traffic) is on a curve, so there is no warning for the cars

or the shooter. You and the person crossing the street just

yell, "go!" and both run to the center, pose and shoot in about two

seconds, then run to the sidewalk to try again.

 

<p>

 

This is really a tourist shot, but Leicas can be used for those too.
