I was looking for as much inifinite depth of field as possible. The beauty of the M6 is you can

hand hold at thse shutter speeds, which makes photographing Montana that much easier. I often

hike to locations where the added weight of a tripod is simply unacceptable, particularly when

your already lugging around a An f5 with an 80-200 and 400 3.5 for wildlife photos.

No tripod. Lots of practice. I routinely shoot at that speed, sometimes down to 1/8. Shoot 'er

like a gun with an easy, relaxed trigger pull and a locked elbow in the gut.

I probably waited a thousand hours over hundreds of days

before getting light like this.<div></div>

The flash has TTL with a D1, but it sometimes doesn't work very well, especially if there's a dark

background. I've used it with a new D2H and it works just fine. In fact, very well.

On very low contrast days with gray skies and gray clothes on people, I'm having a tough time

getting my M6 classic to give me a split image for focusing. Is my rangefinder biting the dust?

I got lucky. Lucky lucky. Looks pretty cool in color too.

What it feels like to come in second. Losing by one point after the

last shot goes around the rim, and pops out.<div></div>

I grew up and lived in Rochester for 30 years. Kodak has been on the ropes for at least that

long. They've always been morons.

Man, I love it. Few photos can pull off a centered subject but this one does. Also, the shadowy

man in the background and the position of the girl's hands lends a sense of concern, even dread.

I actually like the shadows and harsher highlights.

Not sure I like this shot. I like it less and less the more I look at it.

28 @ 16 or 22. Provia 100F.<div></div>

Leicas are nice, but sometimes you need a 400 3.5 Nikon. The

sharpest long glass ever made. 1/60th of a second and a little

luck on a cloudy day. Provia 100f.

I was stuck in traffic behind a school bus and as the bus

unloaded the children in front of the house a woman in curlers

and her bathrobe came running out onto the porch and grabbed

a black skinny dog by the tail to keep it from running into the

road. I actually had a camera, but by the time I could bring it to my

eye (or even roll down the friggin window) the scene was over. If I

ever make a movie, I'll include that scene.

Handheld at 1/8. Provia 100F . 28mm. No idea what f, but

guessing 5.6? It was pretty durn dark. Love being able to hand

hold at that speed. Can't do that with the Nikons I lug around all

day. Not every shot turns out of course, but the ones that do, well,

they're nice to look at.

P.S. Lest you think I'm a cheapskate, I'm sending in my cash next

week.<div></div>

So I asked this guy. Can I take your picture? He says no. Can I take a picture of your bike? Go

ahead, he says. I take the picture and publish it.

He was on a public street in a public place. I guess I didn't have to ask at all...

28mm 2.8/ I think it was some old T-Max 400 we had sitting around.

We had a flower a few days ago who was a little older. This one

is a bit younger. 50 cron wide open T-Max 100.
