Taken in our local market on Sunday. One kid entranced by the older man 
playing his guitar, the other not sure he didn't just want to go back to

Wonderful capture Peter, I like it very much, this picture shows the life and different stories, on the monitor it look a perfect balance light and shadows, if you print it maybe you should expose a little bit more the shadows.

Best!

The main event during week 20 was a performance of Carmina Burana at Alicante?s main concert hall, involving 3 choirs, a full orchestra, and three soloists. My wife sings in of those choirs, so I went to see the performance, and of course I had my camera with me. There are also the usual photos with a canine theme, and lovely Eri makes an appearance too. It?s all here:

Thanks for showing us these, Nathan.

That's quite a lot of forces for such a small (seeming) concert hall. It 
must have posed acoustic issues for the conductor. Hope that it went 
well. Did your wife enjoy herself? I hope so!

Regards,

Peter

Thanks, Douglas. It's a great market that sells everything from fruit 
and veg, to clothes - and, yes, shoes! It's reckoned to be one of the 
best in the area.

My favourite photo book shop and gallery, where Lluis has exhibited, is

J'aime beaucoup voir ces ? petites histoires ? dans une photo. La photo 
d'un homme ou d'une femme seul(e) peut ?tre tr?s int?ressante, mais dans 
une photo comme celle-ci, on entre dans leur espace pour un instant, et 
voir un fragment de leur vie.

C'est ce que j'appr?cie dans les photos de HCB, Doisneau, Ronis et tous

The presence of the little girl makes it.

As butler and general dogsbody to two cats, I can aver that they like 
getting their paws bloody. One, the younger,? keeps losing or even 
removing his collar and warning bell to likely awful consequences to the 
local avian residents. Have to buy another collar tomorrow. Better buy 
three, I suppose.

Subject: [Leica] It's Friday somewhere
Message-ID: <20260604100100.1252C292D71D@vegetablegroup.org>

In the village of Kirimati, in the country of Kiribati, it
is just after midnight (00:01) on Friday, so the Leica
Users Group 'For-sale Friday' is officially open for
business. 

Kirimati is pronounced "Kee-ree-mass" and Kiribati is
prounced "Kee-ree-bus". The island is known both as
Kirimati and Kiritimati. Kiritimati is pronounced
"Kee-ri-see-mass". (Say it out loud.) When it was an
English colony, it was  known as Christmas Island. There
is another unrelated island with that name (an Australian
territory in the Indian ocean). Kirimati is part of the
Line Islands archipelago.

Kirimati is big enough to have two hotels and air service.
Despite its being a former British nuclear test site, it
is now safe in terms of radiation hazard. There is a lot
of cast-off military hardware littering the edges of the
island, but it serves more as a replacement for pandanus
leaves in the roofs of huts than as a danger. Piles of
rusting scrap metal serve as landmarks.

There is spectacular fishing for bonefish on the shallow
sand flats around the island.  It's slow film country; the
light is incredibly intense, being very near the equator.

After a couple of days in my hometown Aarhus, I spent one night in Copenhagen, basically a day and a half. I had dinner with my friend Beata in the former meatpacking district, followed by drinks in Nyhavn, and we visited the Royal Library, built in the 17th century and expanded with a controversial modern addition called the Black Diamond, opened in 1999. A small gallery is here:

Fairly typical scene, a performer is working hard and the audience is less
than attentive.  Good seeing and posting.

I love the cat on the pedestal.  I showed the gallery to my wife Kathryn
since we love felines and she had a second career as a singer.  She sang
Carmina
about ten times with the Milwaukee Symphony and Ballet. The first time I
ever heard that music was in1968 when I shot a rehearsal of a University
Dance department production set in a Fascist concentration camp, with
helmeted guards wielding nightsticks on inmates (it was the era of Viet Nam
protests).

It is too bad they only last a day.  You get out early when they are
pristine, so great shot.

I was reflecting on a task I have to finish - archiving all my photos, when
I realized this spring was the 50th anniversary of my favorite picture, so
I thought I'd put up the
link and ask if anyone else wants to show their favorite.

I just love everything about this shot and I took it with my dream
equipment combination: Leica M3 and 50mm f/2 Summicron (collapsible).

In Alofi, the capital of Niue, it is currently 23:59 on Friday, so
the Leica Users Group 'For-sale Friday' and 'show us your flowers'
is now closed until next week. The population of Niue is approximately
2000, and we suspect not one of them owns a Leica. But there are flowers
everywhere.

It is no longer Friday anywhere in the world.  Except for Baker Island
and Howland Island, which are uninhabited, so no one really cares what
date it is there.

I remember when you first showed us this photo, and it is indeed wonderful. Having said that, considering the quality of your overall body of work, I am amazed that you were even able to pick a favorite.

Battery Lighthouse in Crescent City, CA.? So, which do you like best?? 
Through the magic of Photoshop, here is a pre-1930 shot of the lighthouse.

Battery Point Lighthouse-1006816-Edit 
<http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Aram/26/Battery+Point+Lighthouse-1006816-Edit.jpg.html>

Sometime in the early 1930's, the lighthouse was electrified, so poles 
and wires were added, and then removed for the first photo. Here is the 
view now.

Battery Point Lighthouse-1006816 
<http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Aram/26/Battery+Point+Lighthouse-1006816.jpg.html>

Such an iconic lighthouse anyone who? has been there would know the 
first photo was manipulated.

Which is better?? Comments welcome.

The photograph with distractions removed is better, though it is an
inaccurate one. Depending on whether you are a photojournalist or a fine
art photographer, you would choose one or the other! ?

Alan,
It is a very good idea, and let me also join the thread. My favourite
photograph is this one, because it truly tells a complete visual story in
one frame:

Thank you, Nathan. And all on a phone... ;-)


The trip was a present from my daughter for my 65th. Petra really was 
spectacular and so was the desert at Wadi Rum (maybe I should post some 
of those).

My Fuji ran out of battery - for security reasons I wasn't allowed to 
take a charger on the plane (to do with US regulations imposed on 
airlines flying in and out of Jordan - in this case BA), and a charger I 
was sold out there really wasn't worth the money. I didn't want to risk 
the Leicas. So I ended up using my phone.

Jayanand,

That is really is a lovely shot. I agree, it says a lot on a single image.

I have lots of ones that I like, but I'll join in with this one:

<http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/PeterDzwig/album83/Castiglianocrop2.jpg.html>

I took it way back when, but it always makes me smile! Leica IIIf, 5cm 
f1.5 Summarit,Tri-X or BW400CN, 1/250th at f8.

[It's a slightly revised version of the one I posted way back in my albums]

You look a lot less happy than when we were sharing pints in Dublin 2 years ago. But I am sure a bit of grumpiness is worth it.

So, Brian, many thanks for sticking with it! The result is very much worth it.

Subject: [Leica] Some pictures with film 5222
Message-ID: <EC752180-2CB1-4320-8E4E-A69330CD12D8@gmail.com>

The official rating of this film is ISO 250, I have rated it at ISO 200, all these are with Leica IIIF Elmar 5cm, and developed with HC-110 B.

I see that my test is good because that day I?ve forget my lightmeter at home and shhot all these estimating the settings.

In my opinion I don?t like this film, poor tones and grainy, I?ll continue working wih my usual films.

Your opinion and c&c are always apreciated

Hi Lluis

I don't like this film either. No character.

Yes, I read the article, but don't know what I think. I am not sure 
whether this is as factual as the article implies, or just rumours.

I also read another piece which explores possible scenarios. Could 
easily just be misinformation/misrepresentation/misunderstanding.

It was inevitable, as Chinese tend to go overboard, like the Japanese of an
era gone by, in paying for "trophy" aquisitions. I had heard from my
investment banking contacts in London and Geneva that Leica had been put up
for sale at the "right" (i.e. grossly overvalued) price.

I saw a discussion on Petapixel regarding this, and they felt that not a
lot would change, that is, Leica would continue to be a hand built product
largely made in Germany.  That elevates Leica to the price points they ask
for the cameras and lenses.

The speculation too was it seems more like it will be a buy in than a buy
out.

*I hit send too soon.  They felt it would be similar to the Mercedes Benz
deal, not Chinese owned but significant investment, with Chinese holding
nearly 20% of the parent company.*

That just means the Blackstone is exiting, to be replaced by a Chinese
company. Possible, but from my contacts tell me, the Kaufmanns will sell
out, lock stock and barrel at the right price

Lluis,

It's one I have never heard of before. Who makes it? Is it current, or 
is it old film stock?

The grain is a bit intrusive, but I think that your estimation of the 
light was pretty good. My favourite is the group on the Metro.

Great to see the IIIf out again!

Of course, everyone will sell at the right price. But if the article is correct then the intent is not to have Leica as a ?jewel? but to refloat it on the stock market. I guess the luxury jewellery market is still seen as profitable.
