[Leica] IMG: Roads, Trucks and BBQ

[rgacpa at yahoo.com (Bob Adler)]

Not at all Philippe! From the?camera data on the?gallery, I thought Hugh 
might be shooting digital. So I appreciate your input and did not feel you 
were being critical at all. Sometimes?it's difficult to get the tone right 
in emails, and I was worried, from your response,?that you and others might 
have read something into?it that was?not intended. So absolutely no offense 
taken at all.

And thanks for your concern.
All the best,
Bob

Agreed bob,
even though I haven't shot sunny 16 since the good old times when I got my 
first pentax in the early 70s ...
I admire you all the more doing so Hugh, it would be such a challenge for me.
And your results have character, which matters more to me than right 
exposure or sharpness, sorry for me to say it on a Leica list.

Bob, I'm sorry if you felt I was criticizing your reply - I sensed you were 
mistaken talking of raw, hence my input.

Bien cordialement to both of you
Philippe
