remember our argument about the f/1.4 school of landscape? here's a really
extreme one! Kearney Lake, in Algonquin, last Tuesday. I drove into the
campsite, got out the car and there it was. About an hour after sunset. The
Leica was loaded with Neopan 1600, the lens was a 35/1.4, and the exposure
was 1/15s wide open and handheld. It was pretty much dark, but just enough
light left in the sky to make it happen.
