Subject: [Leica] Cool Leica Pictures

Well, 

I've added to my web page (address below) a section called "Cool Leica
pictures." In addition to a few of my favorites of recent vintage, I've
added a special group of pictures I took last week.

They're all of stained glass at a convent in Northwest Missouri, in a town
called Clyde (population 65). They're the Benedictine sisters or perpetual
adoration, or something like that. The files are a bit big, so they can do
justice to the stained glass, but I think they're gorgeous enough to
justify the wait. The leaded glass was made between 1910 and 1920 in
Innsbruck, Austria.

Two lenses used in my R8 for these pictures. The 180 Elmarit, and the 19
Elmarit where there wasn't room to use a longer lens. (The last two at the
bottom). Film: Kodak Ektapress 100. Most exposures at 1/3 sec at 5.6.

Hope those who take the time to look will enjoy, and see the gorgeous
quality of light. By the way, this is an ideal situation where only a
reflective meter works.
