Comments are, as always, much appreciated. The last two weeks have been very busy at work so I have not had much time for hobbies. Besides, the time I did have, I spent building a darkroom at home, and honestly, working in there is much more rewarding than playing with the scanner :-). Personally I don't find PAW #3 and #4 very spectacular, but they are the best of the lot of what I've shot over the last two weeks. PAW #3 is a portrait of my wife, Cindy. It is lit by daylight that was diffused by a very thin curtain that hangs in front of a window in our hallway. Inspiration for this shot was the photos that Robert G. Stevens has posted of his son. I like (environmental) portraits where the subject makes eye contact with the viewer. Shot with Leica M6 + 1.0/50mm Noctilux at f1.4 on Ilford XP2 Super. http://helme.stelvio.nl/paw2002/paw03.html PAW #4 was shot last friday at a concert with a Japanese drum band called Dadada Dan. Unfortunately, the distance to the subject was somewhat too long for the lens I had at hand. Therefore, the photos have have been cropped (!) extensively (for my standards, at least). Shot with Leica M6 + 1.0/50mm Noctilux at f1.4 on Fuji NPZ 800. http://helme.stelvio.nl/paw2002/paw04.html PAW #4 alternate photo is cropped even more that PAW #4. The unsharpness is probably caused by the combination of the enlargement factor, film grain, handheld shooting, and lens not being 100% correctly focused. Also shot with Leica M6 + 1.0/50mm Noctilux at f1.4 on Fuji NPZ 800. http://helme.stelvio.nl/paw2002/paw04alt1.html The main PAW index can be found at: http://helme.stelvio.nl/paw2002/ Enjoy, - -- Arne Arne Helme Email: Arne.Helme at stelvio.nl (^" at "^@) Work: +31-33-4697340, Fax: +31-33-4697341, GSM: +31-620135827 M&I/Stelvio bv, Zonnehof 41, 3811 ND Amersfoort, the Netherlands - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
