jm_woo2 Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 Great photos on the NG site, and lots of information about shooting. <p> fyi, you can use Google to find others: simply type <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=leica+M6+ site%3Anationalgeographic.com>leica M6 site:nationalgeographic.com</a> into your Google search box, for instance.

anam_alpenia Posted April 11, 2002 Author Share Posted April 11, 2002 Thanks, John - one days I will know how to poperly work this computer - maybe once it has a lens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_piper2 Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 The intersting thing here is that at least ONE of these shots was made with a Canon EOS and zoom. Test yourself. Can you - without peaking at the technical notes - identify the camera used from looking at the picture? <p> I was fairly sure of the Canon shot - but couldn't swear the other shots were Leica-made without checking, although there were hints. <p> I've also seen Nichols' own website with many more shots from megatransect - and many more Canon B&W shots. His personal vision is so consistent that often a pic I'd swear was Leica would turn out to be Canon SLR - and occasionally vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_molloy3 Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 i dod notice what andy was talking about. one thing to note, the EOS picture have 2 other variables from the leica shots. it was shot using a flash (as opposed to available light) and the film was Tmax 400 (not Tmax 3200). christ i'm a geek.

keith_davis1 Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 And we like these photos why? <p> They seem fairly mundane to me once you look beyond the exotic subjects and locale. And they are surprisingly flat, considering that they were shot on TMZ. <p> Worst of all, he cut off those people's feet in the last shot. Totally unnecessary. A half step back and he would have had it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen Herbert Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 Keith how can you judge a photo on a low res computer screen.Also depends how it was,or what was used,to scan it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith_davis1 Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 "Keith how can you judge a photo on a low res computer screen.Also depends how it was,or what was used,to scan it." <p> How about content and composition? Or can't those be judged adequately on a low res computer screen either? <p> I don't see anything particularly special in the NG photos referenced.

charles_mason Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 I think the missing toes are more than made up for by the wonderful compositional moment with the arm, and that eye, in the bottom photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nesrani Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 Excellent work, although the black and white is a bit hard to read sometimes. I would have preferred colour myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
