Whoops sorry about that failure before :D

Thanks Sonny!

If you're talking about this one:

... then yeah it looks wide open, or nearly so, which puzzles me.  I
don't record exposure information, but I remember it as a fairly bright
summer afternoon.  For example, this one was taken on the same day:

About modeling light, well I guess you're just seeing the best ones, and
not all my crap :D  But I'm a big fan of window light, and I like the
effect I get when I shoot about 90 degrees or more from the light,
instead of right in front of it.  I think this is a case where good
lenses (such as Leica stuff) can actually help out by retaining all the
contrast possible.  

Thanks again :)

Regards,

PS Since I first posted to the LUG, I've gotten about 2000 "requests for
pages" on my web server.  I usually get only 300-400 in the same amount
of time.  Yours is the only email I got this time.  I'll just assume I
have stunned everyone into silence with my keen photographic eye. :D

I just got around to looking through these.   Some unusual new stuff
here.  Of the
new ones of Ali, I like the antiques store and the beach shots best.

I also like Fiona, and the guitar man.  You are doing a great job of
capturing good modeling light; I take it the Fiona shot was shot nearly
wide open?
