[Leica] IMG: 3 Puppies Looking Out

[Robert Baron]

Hi Uncle Ted,

Thanks for the suggestions.  You are of course correct PHOTOGRAPHICALLY but
PHYSICALLY it would probably be at least MONDAY before I was up off the
floor and able to carry on.  ;-)

I did recently buy a Baby Leica (X Type 113) with a rotating viewfinder
that lets me get the camera down to almost where I would be if I was on the
floor and it also helps to have the puppy stand on the stairs as in

or

but it is even better when the subject is on a table at the vet's office
for a checkup and shots and I can use my M:

At least I converted the 3 puppies looking out the window to b&w and was
able to crop out the distractions that would have been much more visually
prominent if I was down on the floor!  ;-)  :-)

Thanks again for making this a teachable moment, these lessons and
reminders are always very much appreciated.

Best regards,

--Bob

p.s.  Do you think the shot of puppy being examined on the vet's table
would look substantially  better in b&w?  I'm conflicted because I usually
prefer b&w but the consumers of the dog photos always want to see the
colors.
