Photo of the day

In Newcastle earlier - sat down for lunch

No - my sister does though - hives wouldn't work in a tenement flat - I would admit to being a frustrated beekeeper though - strikes me as quite zen. Yours - I.

I see, I thought you may have had roof space. I've always liked the idea of being a beekeeper though. P.

Really nice picture, that.

Really nice picture, that.

Thank you! Lovely spot there in the park - makes taking photos easy! Haha

Latest addition to the family - titanium - nice. A gift from a friend - I have some very good friends - he's gone fully digital - his loss - my gain - the world looks different through Leica film cameras - as long as you look at it right - I.

May the spirit of Cartier Bresson be with you !!

Things you can do with a Leica - around Wanlockhead - yellow one - if not, orange one filter - 35mm - or perhaps - 50mm Summicron - not sure - for sure originated on black and white film - emulsion - not digital - let's make film photography great again - yours - I

Reasons to use Leicas - part two - cloud inversion at dawn - from the west summit of Suilven - looking east - we did a bivvy on the top - I set my alarm for dawn - it happened so quickly - I was bare foot when I took this picture - no time to put my boots on. The picture can't convey the sound - like surf breaking on a beach.



Storm break - It has nothing to do with the cameras you use - more the lenses - all a camera is - is a light tight box that protects the film - if you have decent glass - you can point it directly at the light source - and it won't flare all over the place - costs. - I.

Stunning and very atmospheric...

 

[Digimonkey]

very atmospheric...

Yes - that's another way of saying out of focus. - I.

...that's certainly a look you're getting...I sense not all good either ...great picture...

Well, it depends how close you are to the photograph ... and out of focus has always been used creatively. Love B&W images.

I've had worse looks - to paraphrase Jane Eyre - dear reader - I married her. Leica and film. Malaga - I.

Rangefinder porn -



Harsh - brutal light - Malaga. The Spanish sun - death in the afternoon - Hemingway was an arsehole - but you take the premise -



Softer light - Malaga - rainy day - must have been - I'm wearing a RAB jacket - I look like I am pregnant - must have stuff in my pockets - ordinarily - I present - as very tall and thin. Look carefully at this picture - the silhouette - of the guy in the reflection - in profile - in the middle - a gift from the Leica god. Didn't see it at the time - these things sort of happen when you use rangefinders - film or digital - better than the sum of its parts. You go work out the levels of reflection. One - upon two - upon three - - I.
