It was a very, very grey weekend. Within 5 minutes of taking the photograph
of the musicians the heavens opened - there was another guy with a chrome
M6TTL and 35mm lens photographing them, I've never seem as many Leicas in my
life as here in Paris.  Ten minutes after taking the photo I stopped
worrying about getting wet - I _couldn't_ get any wetter.

I tried to increase the contrast of the photos in Photoshop, but obviously
not enough. This is a consistent problem I have. I think it's that I'm
afraid of blowing the highlights.

Steve,

I like the main, the musicians, and the pigeons, but all seem to be about 1
grade of contrast too flat, especially the main selection. Was it an
extremely overcast, gloomy day? I have to admit that I have never been
further north than Boston, so I'm not accustomed to what the sun does at
that oblique of an angle in the dead of winter (other than making ISO 400 to
800 a must).

Then again, my monitor at home is getting on in years.
