Yes, the full pic somehow reminds me of “Toy Story”… 🙂

Fuzzy little rascal; surprising DoF. Nice!

Thanks, Al! The Public Market used to be a favorite photo destination for me in the late 60's when I lived on Capitol Hill and shopped cameras at Olympic Camera on 4th. And even after I moved to more distant parts of Seattle. It has changed a lot over the years. For that matter the whole waterfront area was a gold mine of photo opportunities.…[Read more]

I particularly like that first one, such rich greens and rose colors…

Interesting pano, and look at that blue sky! I was going to remark that it's a familiar skyline… but it's NOT really familiar, as it's been many years since I've come into Seattle on the ferry from Bremerton, which would give this view.

The most easily identifiable building is that stubby little thing over at the far right, called the Smith…[Read more]

Are we talking Leica-branded lenses, or M-mount lenses? I didn't have a 50mm at all for many years, using just the 35 Summicron and 90 TE on my M2. Now I have several 50mm lenses but none are Leica.

The first time I used a 50 on the M2 was somewhat of a revelation. I could see easily outside the framelines… which I never could with the 35,…[Read more]

Jack, good luck with your Air! With the solid state drive, that should have really impressive input/output performance. And I hope its other attributes will suit you well.

I'm considering a MacBook Pro to replace my little 12″ G4 PowerBook, which is convenient for travel, and that's about all I use it for. Doesn't have the horsepower to run…[Read more]

I like this shot too… the close-of-day feeling, and the way the light works on the different surfaces.

Good choice to wander Pike Place Market… one never knows what interesting things may be seen. 🙂 I particularly like your first (cropped) shot of the stringed-instrument player, a very nice contextual portrait, IMO.

Pete, enjoy seeing your landscapes at Arches! Interesting context for the first one, with the green hills and snowy mountains in the background, but I think it suffers somewhat from the frontal light. I had the same sort of problem at Grand Canyon recently…

The “wall” is interesting as I wonder how it was formed and the natural forces…[Read more]

Congratulations on the joint show! The film-strip-on-light-table graphic seems unusual for an M9 show. Especially mixed color and B&W positives on one strip. 🙂 It's been far too long since I've visited Glazers; I should make a point of making the trip to see your show there while it's up. I've admired Ashwin's photos posted elsewhere…

Decorative colors… and you were ready for it when it happened!

Norman, interesting shots, grouped into one big upload. I wish I could see what that central crowd were all looking at, but the lady feeding her daughter an ice cream cone is charming. Also the little girl all dressed up sitting on a rock in the stream; cute. And you caught a good moment with the kid at the fountain. The military group portrait…[Read more]

A bit scary to think that's probably a fair price for three S2 bodies, one each of the four lenses, supporting equipment and access to the models… 😀

The best ideas seem obvious in retrospect. I'll try that! 🙂

Finally, a fair attempt with the 70mm Summarit used and processed in the same fashion as the others. This is a view of Sedona AZ, this time with Bell Rock at distant right.

And it's my custom to get a local haircut while on vacation. Have to document the occasion of course! This is not quite comparable as a test, since the TIFF had…[Read more]

I'm on a roll… 😎
Here's the Pentax-67 100mm f/4 Macro.
I ran into an acquaintance named Jim at the local Saturday farmers' market, looking a little startled while sitting on the curb eating some kind of delicacy. Lens was wide open at f/4.

Then I walked around the corner into a custom car show and found this purple…[Read more]

Here are a couple samples of the Pentax-67 165mm f/4 LS… It doesn't seem to be as sharp as the others even with the shutter speed up and decent, but then at the Grand Canyon for shots at distance I was mostly just setting the focus a tad closer than infinity. On the first one I was surprised to spot people on the trail on the hill beyond the…[Read more]

Thanks, Pete… I'm pretty friendly-looking so I don't seem to stir up unpleasant responses from my willing (at least tacitly) “victims”. No, I overexerted hiking the long LV blocks and pulled a leg muscle and then, not watching where I was going, ran into a column at the Luxor. Dumb, but got to hurting later, and about back to normal now.

I…[Read more]
