Below is a link to an image I shot the second week of October.  I was busy 
getting ready for my trip to France and forgot to post it with my weekly 
images.

   It was shot with a Leica R8 and 400mm APO Telyt.  I used Provia 100F 
pushed one stop to EI 200.  The camera was on aperture priority and matrix 
metering mode.  I think I was shooting at f2.8 and 1/360th or 1/500th.  It 
was getting late in the day and the sun was getting low into a bank of 
clouds.  The made it necessary to push the film to EI 200 to keep a shutter 
speed near 1/500th.

BTW, this is a full frame scan of the slide.  I was lucky to fill the frame 
with this action and have it in focus.  At closer distances, the focus is 
much more critical.  The difference of being in or out of focus is only a 
couple of millimeters throw one way or another of the focus tube.

What do you think?
