Not done with Leica equipment, but with the same focal length,
I took this 2 years ago. The thing to remember is that you have
100 degrees to play with in one direction, and it takes some
time to get used to that

In this case, it allowed me to have in the same frame the
fireworks crew, standing not more than 40 feet from the
mortar tubes, and the results of their hard days work
right above them.

It is addictive. I have since joined the team to get closer...
