[Leica] First Pictures - Glasgow/Lake District/Cambridge

[r.s.taylor at comcast.net (Richard S. Taylor)]

Philippe - Boy, that was quick.  Thanks for the nice comments.  I 
have been trying to decide whether or not the bright spot was a 
distraction.  Maybe not.


>Sir, you truly have an eye for light!
>I wouldn't crop the bridge, though. The bright spots helps one to recognize
>it as a bridge immediately.

>>  I had expected to post a few pictures soon after my de-lurk last week

>>  running and to get my photo files switched over.  In any case, here
>>  are seven pictures from my trip to the UK last June.  These were all
>>  taken with an Olympus C-60.  I'm still working out how best to get
>>  film scans done.  I'll post some of the Leica pix as soon as I've got
>>  that squared away.  I shot 15 36-exposure rolls with my M7 and took
>>  about 500 pictures with the C-60 during the three weeks I was there.
>>
>>  These are all straight from the camera except for slight crops on two
>>  of them and down-sizing for posting.  I've posted two variations on
>>  one of the photos. I'd like to hear which one of these you think
>>  works best and am looking forward to your comments on all of them.
>>  Enjoy!
