Today I did not use the Noctilux, but the 75mm Summilux instead as I wanted tighter framing. I just souped five rolls of the Ektachrome E200 and they are in the process of drying. Three at least were taken with the M6 using the 75mm Summilux and the 35mm Summicron ASPH, with the other two done with the R6, 90mm Summicron and motor. I also tried an M3 and 90mm Elamarit for some closer net shots, but only managed about ten frames that way. I will finish that film and develop it later. This morning before going to the games, I made an 11x16 print of the picture posted on my Noctilux page using my Epson Printer and Polaroid. I gave it to the media liason, who was very impressed with it. He then took me to meet the teams PR person, who was also very impressed with it. Everybody that saw it was quite impressed. I gave it to the parents of number 42 and suggested I make them a proper Ciabachrome print of it. As a result of bringing the print in, I was set up to shoot the Alberta team that was in the final. I agreed upon a price with the person who looks after the schools PR. They lost to the other team which happened to be the team from Halifax, St Mary's Huskies. It will be interesting if I get paid, since I think they were hoping they would win and get the team picture and trophy shots. I did however get the action shots of the specific players that they wanted for their publication.
