It was an awards ceremony for local teachers, school administrators, and students whose actions on September 11th were exemplary or otherwise awardable. My job was simple: to get shots of the celebrities, the kids, and the awardees. The gear? Leica M6 + Noctilux, and Canon EOS-1HS+28-105mm zoom+540EZ speedlight. Those in attendance, among others, were Penny Marshall, Ellen Barkin, and Quincy Jones. My only point here is that as a paid photographer, I have managed to boogie with buildings. Here are some shots for everyone's enjoyment. The goofy guy in the third shot was the other photographer - a friend of mine and a big fan of EB. http://www.availabledark.com/images/cis01.jpg http://www.availabledark.com/images/cis02.jpg http://www.availabledark.com/images/cis03.jpg http://www.availabledark.com/images/cis04.jpg http://www.availabledark.com/images/cis05.jpg http://www.availabledark.com/images/cis06.jpg http://www.availabledark.com/images/cis08.jpg http://www.availabledark.com/images/cis09.jpg http://www.availabledark.com/images/cis10.jpg http://www.availabledark.com/images/cis11.jpg http://www.availabledark.com/images/cis12.jpg I hope you like them. OK, for all three of you that have gotten this far, I'd also like to take some responsibility for this scratchy thread. Simon privately sent me a very gracious and complimentary email last week, asking me nearly the same questions; he'd seen my low-light work with Canon gear and wanted some input. I was too slow to respond. Tardy, but not negligent. Perhaps if I had done so more quickly, we wouldn't be throwing rocks at each other. Simon and the LUG, I apologize.

But a Leica M or R bumping up agonist an EOS for me would be like wearing a red shirt and orange pants. (And i guess you'd have to pull out the white shoes for that outfit) they go together like dancing and architecture. http://www.explodingdog.com/pictures/two28/thatslikedan.html Mark Rabiner Portland, Oregon USA http://www.rabiner.cncoffice.com/ - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
