W/NW Pic O' The Week #36

[Uhooru]

<p>Well here we are at the Saturday version of the Friday PicOtheWeek.. Sorry for the delay, but both Charlie Lemay and I had a weird dream, maybe even a night mare that I had posted a Pic O the week in some futuristic web site...but alas it was just a dream. So now back to work! Please post your favorite pic for this week. I'll start with something to remind me of the dream like experience taken with a rangefinder Mamiya 7. Let see yours! <img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/17157257-md.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p>Deja Vue, Barry. From the La Brea Tar Pits in July. I stuck my lens through the fence hoping to get spme bubbling tar. I go it, but I didn't notice the woman's face on the surface of the water until I scanned it. Once you see it, you can't not see it. M6. Komura 105mm f2, Fuji Acros, ISO 6, ZoneSimple Extreme 64x.</p><div></div>

<p>Gentlemen...That Was a Nightmare! Happily, the cause of it all also awoke from their self induced nightmare. I hope they come to Wa. state and visit one of your newest retail entities before doing that again.<br /> Here's one from the 2nd test of the Fed-3...still two small pin holes to fix. UFX400 Max @ 250asa, Obsidian Aqua & V800 scan. Bill</p><div></div>

<p>The nightmare is over!!! Shot this from my apartment window with my M240 + Canon FD 35-70/2.8-3.5. Remember that lens? </p><div></div>

[skeeter]

<p>Charlie, looked for a bit, but I see the woman. got to love pareidolia.</p>

[Sanford]

<p>I still can't see her.</p>

[skeeter]

<p>sanford<br>

her eye is at the right edge of the photograph at 4 o'clock from the bright circle, her mouth along the vertical shadow which runs through the bright circle.</p>

[charlie lemay]

<p>Sanford, maybe this will help.</p><div></div>

[Sanford]

<p>NOW I see it! Thanks.</p>

<p>Nice shot, Charlie. But you do realize this is the Leica forum, right?</p>

[Sanford]

<p>If the 201F has rangefinder focusing then technically no rules were broken. </p>

<p>AFAIK, the 201F is a medium format TTL focusing (through a ground glass) camera - nothing resembling a rangefinder. </p>

<p>I do like the shot though.</p>

[charlie lemay]

We are a community of photographers, and we shoot lots of different equiment. I believe all are welcome, and I'm not interested in

posting anywhere else except among my friends here. I was never very good with rules. I traded in my chrome Leica 90mm f4 macro to

buy this kit. There's the connection.

[Uhooru]

<p>Although this is labeled a Leica and Rangefinder forum. We've never been a stickler for any rules and I"ve always considered the label more of a guideline. Virtually all the people that post here use leica or rangefinder equipment or even rangefinder like equipment, so if they choose to post outside the guidelines its fine by me.</p>

<p>I just thought something happened to my consciousness...sort of "the truth is out there thing" and I entered one of those other universes where I became a normal person....thankfully, I woke up after hiding myself under the bed for a while. </p>

<p> </p><div></div>

[Allen Herbert]

<p>Charlie...I and many other respect and enjoy your work...you go to a different place to most.</p>

<p>I could not care what gear you use; and that is a strong thought from this place....what gear you use...just post.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Works for me. Like you, I rarely post in any other forum. <br>

I left Leica for a period of time after the M9 came out in favor of Canon (5DmkIII). The M digital experience simply wasn't working for me (don't ask why). Then, about a year ago, I bought an M Monochrom when they were being blown out in favor of the M Monochrom 246. It revived my love for the M system and now I'm back with an M-P 240 and a new stash of M lenses. I'm a Leica guy at heart, so had I realized I'd still be accepted as a Canon user (God forbid), I would have continued posting here throughout. </p>
