w/nw Pic of the Week # 39

[Uhooru]

<p>Wow, week 39, and its time to spin the dial again and come up with a favorite pic of the week. Last week had some really good photos (IMO). So this week, its past 11:00 pm and its still 87F outside. So of course we have to get to the beach. Here is one from the Newport Beach, CA pier. I loved this family and and the "Mohawk" hair-cut. You still see these on little kids here and there in So Cal. M7-35Summicron. <img src="http://farm2.staticflickr.com/1154/849583823_fa8faf23f7_o.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p>Taken on holiday in the Dolomites - two of my boys on a Via Ferrata (Iron Way). This is the type of shot where an M body has clear advantages over an SLR.</p><div></div>

<p>Steve, I really like where you are going with this shot. I love waste areas and the dichotomies I find there.</p>

<p>Philip, great shot. I was surprised to see someone climbing the Dolomites. I thought the rock was too unstable to do safely. It's great to learn new things.</p>

<p>Actually this was taken on a Via Ferrarta (Punta Sud). The Via Ferrarta date from the first world war which was fought here. During the war they equipped the mountains with cables and ladders and tunnelled into them. In the 1970s these routes started getting re-equipped with new cables and are quite popular. In actual fact the Dolomites are very solid and good for climbing. The Canadian Rockies where I live are very lose compared to the Dolomites. This one is not actually on the wall but I find it much easier to shoot with a Leica M or my Contax G bodies when I am on a face. The Cannon DSLRs are just too difficult. Thanks for the comments- the boys are 14 and 12 but grew up in the Rockies so they have heads for heights</p>

<p>Wonderful shot Philip. The lad higher up looks so relaxed. Do you have the Leica hung round your neck, taking the shot with one hand?</p>

<p>Leica M9 w/ Jupiter-8 @ ISO 160 & (appropriate) lens hood.<br>

The Jupiter-8 is a Sonnar-like design; the Industar 61 L/D is a Tessar-like design <strong>and</strong> slightly radioactive. It is not too unusual to find a very good copy of either. They do have different 'signatures.'</p><div></div>

[philip_wilson]

Knut - that is how it all starts .

Richard - as you guessed around the neck and 1 handed shooting. Hence the wide angle lens and F5.6

The effects of Chinese and Indian mass-made products were visible in Zanzibar as well. One could not really be sure whether a souvenir was really made on location or in India or China. However, the Stone Town does have several co-ops that specialize in local arts and crafts.<br />Sasik women’s craft cooperative was founded in 1994 and specializes in elaborate furnishing covers, wall hangings based on Arabic designs and local architecture. It is owned and ran by local women and it is located on Gizenga St. in Stone Town. They can also be reached at sasikaznz@hotmail.com<br /><br />Leica MP, 35mm Summilux ASPH f/1.4, expired Kodak Tri-X film.</p>
