[Leica] IMG: Hassy + Leaf

Indeed. But when you hear some locals say "the wildflowers all over Tioga 
Pass are spectacular" you take the chance. Unfortunately, they weren't , the 
roads and trails were jammed, the sun was burning bright and the falls were 
dry. 
You can't always get what you want...

The first shot I really like but I'd not be out looking for flowers all  the
time to me its not like you cant shoot a landscape if it didn't have a
wildflower in it.

Well I've been itching to take the new "old" Leaf back + Flexbody out for an
inaugural outing. So went up to Yosemite for a day trip. Dumb idea...
Had heard the wildflowers were "spectacular" at the higher locations; NOT...
So 
went down to the Valley; mistake #2; madhouse traffic. Then up Glacier Point
Rd; 
nothing... And the falls were a trickle; Bridal Veil didn't even reach the
base 
of the falls!

Finally headed back home and stopped to take a couple of images of the few
flowers we saw. Started out at 6am; these were the second and third venues of
the day. The first (which I'm still working on) was at about 10. So basically
drove around from about 1 - 5 without seeing anything....
18-1/2hr day; 527miles logged.

So at any rate here are 2 shots from the last 2 venues:

I'd be very interested in any observations, comments about the output seen on
the screen from this equipment combination. I realize it's .jpg, but the
colors 
seem very natural to me as well as the gradation in tonality. And it's nice
and 
sharp at 100%....
Thanks for looking and comments,
Bob
