Inspired by Graham's photos, I wandered out back to take a B&W (Plus-X) shot or
two with the Leica in the slanting late afternoon light. The M6 is TTL, and the
exposure meter indicators in the viewfinder kept telling me I needed to open up
the Summilux-M 50/1,4 more or choose a slower shutter speed. When I got down to
1/15 at f/1.4, with the sun still shining, I knew something was wrong. Dumbass
hadn't taken off the lens cap. That's another difference between an SLR and a
rangefinder; with an SLR, you know right off the bat. Oh, well, maybe I'll
remember next time.
Great shots, Graham. It's mostly you, but partly that Leica magic.
