Today I have meetings at the European Commission later this morning, but yesterday I took a morning flight so as to have a Sunday afternoon and evening to enjoy the city in sunshine and warm weather. For once, I took my Leica M8 on the trip, figuring that with daylight from 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. I would have enough light not to need high ISOs (the Leica’s weak point). On the other hand, I would be able to take advantage of the Leica’s strength, in particular for discreet people photography, where the ability to pre-focus and quickly compose and snap make it a supreme tool on the street. Seven images, taken throughout the day (the first two on the plane).
