RE: [Leica] Week 5 in Denver

["Bill" <bnelsch@qwest.net>]

Hi Julian,

Thanks!  The girls are doing nicely.  I shot totally available light, the
Summicron was wide open and shutter speed was around 1/30th. (You've got to
love the metering on the R8!)  The E100SW adds a bit of warmth to the pastel
shades.  The NICU had a lot of reflected, cove type lighting which gave soft
shadows instead of the usual 2x4 overhead panels.  I think that, plus the
combination of the color in the chair and the container on the wall, all
combine to give a rather pleasing result.

Hi Bill,

Congratulations on the grand-twins and my compliments on the image quality
as well.  Would you mind telling how you got the pleasing color rendition
and what lighting was used for the picture, which I assume was taken in the
NICU?

Thanks in advance..............Julian

Hi all,

This was my first sojourn into the world of medicine that Ted has opened up
for us and boy, it is a challenge!  My grand-twins arrived about 6 weeks
early and while they are coming along nicely, their home is still the NICU.
I selected my main shot (R-8, 50 f/2 Summicron, E100SW) for the expression
on my son's face.

Since I am a lousy editor (at least of my own stuff) the alternates are the
series of B&W (Plus-X, pushed 1 stop, developed in XTOL 1:1) taken at the
same time.

As a bonus, the DALUG (Denver area LUG)  (got together a couple of weeks ago
and we all ended up shooting each other at the coffee shop.  I didn't
include Robb's 12 course lunch.  (That boy can eat!) :)

As usual, comments are always welcome!
