[Leica] IMG: Portofino

[images at comporium.net (Tina Manley)]

Thanks, Gene.  Try these two.  This one is HDR of 5 photos:

This one is a single exposure:

I like playing with HDR but with every one I do, I have more confidence in
Leica's ability to capture all of the dynamic range available in a scene.
 I think that's what happens with the second one.

I really hate fake looking HDR.  All I'm trying to do is restore what the
eye can see but the camera can't record.  With Leica's newest cameras, that
seems to be narrowing.
