[Leica] Nathan's PAD 20/7/2016: the swing

[Ted Grant]

Hi Sonny,
Hey my friend you weren't alone. :-) I went through the Rollie fix for one year shooting news. But I had to use two of them as we shot colour & B&W.
Then came the LEICA ERA that turned into a lifetime! :-) I wonder what the devil will have me use after I check-in?   ;-)
cheers,
ted

Hey Ted, 
In my first photo job, we shot football sidelines using a Rollei and TriX.  

Talk about fun following action looking down!

We usually got some shots.

Last night my wife enticed us to go to the golf practice range. After many failed attempts, I managed to capture a shot of my son’s swing, with the ball still in the frame:
