As I've got the release form agreed I can now post ;-) These are a few shots taken with and of him on the day. Probably an inappropriate shot to start with: Ted shoots Canon - with Canon glass!! http://gallery.leica-users.org/album278/CanonAd200510 Fred Schwab was Ted's host and kind enough to allow me to join their stroll around the embankment and St. Paul's: http://gallery.leica-users.org/album278/FredandTed200510 We moved on to the Millenium Bridge between Tate Modern at Bankside and St. Paul's. OK. Ted's in focus, the shutter will traverse the frame in 1/200th sec and still I can't freeze his hand as it brings up the Canon. Ted is fast! The camera in focus ** and ** by his side is the Digilux 2... http://gallery.leica-users.org/album278/He_sfast200510 Some may remember that I photographed it some 1.25 degrees from horizontal (see PAW 20/20A). http://gallery.leica-users.org/album278/TedonMilleniumBridge200510 Ted had to hold the camera at an odd angle too! When I got the film back I had to rotate this image by 1.25 degrees AGAIN - could it be me, or the bridge? The other side of the bridge...we all shot these steps in different ways: http://gallery.leica-users.org/album278/StPaul_sSteps NEXT: Exercise in street photography: Ted's instruction was " see how close you can get to those two while pretending to take St.Paul's and get them, before they notice". After I got two thirds of the way the guy at the left got up and turned his back...as the other guy just ate his sandwich. http://gallery.leica-users.org/album278/Howclosecanyouge1200510_1 Did I loose? Well no, because I got this :-) http://gallery.leica-users.org/album278/Howclosecanyouge1200510_1 and yes, that is a surreptitious self-portrait! Next we came across this young photographer setting up his shot: http://gallery.leica-users.org/album278/ChildPhotographer200510 this is his subject (...with him at the left) http://gallery.leica-users.org/album278/Photographees200510 That's all for the moment folks! Hope you got some pleasure from them. thanks again to both Ted and Fred, Peter Dzwig ** To UK LUGers **: Ted says that he would like to come back to London and meet up with the rest of us sometime soon!
