The musician is rendered very well, the gear has made a sharp and well exposed picture but your framing in the arch way is what lifts it. The Rescue shot is dramatic and newsworthy. I think that it needs the description to be clear. An interesting aside is that my first impression was of a military operation, perhaps a troop insertion. The swirling snow surprised me, just because of my unfamiliarity. Cheers Hoppy -----Original Message----- Subject: [Leica] Didier's PAW 2007 #07, #08 Been away for 10 days but could keep the paw pace so far. Week 7 is from the Lucerne carnival. Shot at noon where the people are not that drunken yet. http://mogool.com/PAW2007/?pic=7 R-D1s, 28/3.5 Color Skopar, @ f16, ISO 200 Week 8 is from my holidays in the Avers valley, a helicoptre air rescue action in the night. While we were night skiing and eating raclette in a heatened tent, the swiss REGA (air rescuers) brought in snowboard tourists who got stuck in a rock face in the afternoon. As the guys had no alarm system with and there was no telecom network in this remote area, they were lucky that their hotel owner called the rescuers after they did not come in for the evening meal. Thanks to infrared search instruments they were found in a short time. http://mogool.com/PAW2007/?pic=8 R-D1s, 35/1.4 Summilux asph, @ f1.4, ISO 800 My challenge was not to get the lens full of the snow blown by the helicoptre rotors, and to shoot handheld at a 1/12th second. Comments welcome as always, Didier _______________________________________________
