Nice one, I like the framing with the trees and the depth. Congratulations on your new camera. ;-)

Lovely, Benedictus - the trees and branches frame him beautifully. Nice, thoughtful expression as well. New camera?

Thank you, Sam. I am kind of fond of this shot too.

. New camera?

Yes, with the same ancient lenses (and those will not change), and the same obsolete focusing mechanism (which I will not do without).

In England, we say " Slush", here 'Slash' means 'Pee' ;-)

...I certainly hope that the kid was not walking through pee! (it did not smell that way as far as I recall). "Slash" was a typo. I am not well versed on the English language and you will see many grammatical mistakes in what I write. In this case, however, it was an honest typo of something written in haste. If you look up the thread you will see that I made the corrections to "Slush" the moment I realized my mistake.

Hope you liked the image!

It made me laugh Benny ;-)

Composition is not bad (I would have moved to the right a bit so that the slushy path is at a slight angle rather than going south to north). Also it's a tad underexposed.

But you took the picture so you're the driver here.

Anyway the Leica is a top camera.... good for taking photos too! :-D

Cheers

Good point. I could have taken two shots by moving to the side on one of them. Instead I took two from the same spot (and I chose the one with the more interesting expression on the main character).

Also it's a tad underexposed.

This is so dependant on the monitor that you see the image on! The dng file itself is certainly not underexposed. It is a twilight shot, and I tried to represent it as such. For me, prints are the final product. I do tests (in small size) to determine the right amount of exposure. I've given up trying to guess the final answer from what I see on my screen. You are never off by much, but it is this small amount what the game is all about (assuming that the image is worth playing the game in the first place).

But you took the picture so you're the driver here.

This particular driver appreciates and learns from feedback.

Sorry for being defensive here. For me an M is just a camera. It has no shortages of flaws, but I grew up with them and I feel totally at ease with one on my hands. Let me make it very clear that this speaks about my own limitations, not about any merit of the M system. I am not rich (far from it), and my M system does not seat unused as a weird house display trophy. Quite the contrary. It is almost always by my side, wherever I go.

As a lifetime M user, I am embarrassed by some of the extravagant limited edition products that Leica releases. I am aware that many of these equipment never gets utilized to take actual photographs. This is extremely sad. It is, however, a mistake to think that this is true of all M owners. Some people, and I am one of them, take their M virtually everywhere. Their passion is photography and they find in the M system, with its obsolete RF focusing system, a tool that drives them to be out there taking photographs (SP and documentary. Forget sports or action).

Cheers

You too Sup. Thank you for the feedback.
