Uhooru Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 <p>So here we are again. An open invitation to share your favorite pic o' the week. Ahow the world that not all Leica and rangefinder equipment is meant for occupying a shelf in a display case. I'll start this week off with a photo from El Segundo Beach in Los Angeles. A pre-storm sky on a beautiful day. GX7 with Summicron 50. <img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/17918079-lg.jpg" alt="" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baisao Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 <p>I've been photographing this abandoned farmhouse for several years. On this visit I discovered this roller and tray. It was with mixed emotions that I saw this. On the one hand I wouldn't be able to visit again, but on the other hand the farmhouse will not be razed. This wonderful place, this humble place of light has a new lease on life.</p> <p><em>Leica M6 'Wetzlar' / 50mm Summicron ver.

baisao Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 <p>Thank you, Knut. That's a lovely photo of the dancing girl. I love how her right hand seems to be moving as the reflections are echoing.</p> <p>Barry, so elegant! The cloud detail and tones are wonderful.</p> <p>Ray, you've captured something that stirs my feelings (nostalgic but phony idealizations).</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mukul_dube Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 <p>Good picture, Knut. Dancers?<br> Dr. Ashok Desai, economist, showed me an old photo of him with his wife Ena. I asked him to keep still for half a minute.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uhooru Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 <p>Some great contributions going this week, Jim thanks for your shout out and back at you. In fact I'm really enjoying all these photos this week so far. Every one is saying something in its own way. I hope people will put more up in the next few days.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baisao Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 <p>Thank you, Charlie. I'm a fan of your photos, as you know. They have a dreamlike, timeless quality to them. The Rolleiflex 2.8C is an incredible camera. Thanks again for putting me on to it. I take it with me everywhere. It's easily one of the best photographic purchases I've made. I like the Rolleinar II. Have you found either of the other two sizes useful?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie lemay Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Thanks Jim. I got a great deal on the set of three with a hood a UV and yellow filter in a leather case. I have not used the Rolleinars much at all, mostly the 2. I am sure I will someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knut_schwinzer Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 <p>Jim, Mukul, these are flamenco dancers - local gypsies performing different styles of it, like sevillanas, rumba etc. There are actually three young women involved in this picture.<br> Robin, this looks very good. Some sparkling incident light, very well controlled DR, great color under mixed lighting, clean high ISO. May I ask if you used a Fuji -let's say X- in JPEG mode?</p> <p>Cheers,</p> <p>Knut</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgerraty Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 <p>I have used the Rolleinar 1 to get just that bit closer with people shots. Mostly I use the Rolleinar 2. I don't have the Rolleinar 3 which is very close. My two Rolleinars came in a long leather box with some colour filters and a uv filter too.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baisao Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 <p>Knut, another fine photo. Thanks for elaborating. I think I like the second photo even more than the first.</p> <p>Richard, thank you for the information on your Rolleinar usage. What you said about the Rolleinar I makes a lot of sense to me. I tried taking a portrait of my son with the Rolleinar II and it was just too close. I'll have to add a two-piece Rolleinar I to my wish list.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
