Subject: [Leica] IMG: Nathan's PAW 24: moving around London

>>This week's pictures are all from my brief visit to London on  
Wednesday and Thursday. The only camera I had with me was the Ricoh  
GRD, so I had to live within its limitations. With some of the high  
ISO images (800) it is a bit of a case of trying to make a silk purse  
out of sow's ear, but I tried. The results are here:

Nathan Mon Ami,
Once again you've broken the rule of making silk purses out of a sows ear!
:-)

As these photos of real time moments appear made of fine silk than a skinned
sows ear.! ;-) Proving once again, it's the human operating the camera, than
just the camera. 

This also illustrates the fallacy some people believe, that shooting with a
Leica creates the be all to end all photographs. A true fallacy as you've
shown time and time again!

Add to that you walk about while on business and still manage to come back
with winners others would spend a day roaming London and not have anything
like it at all. Obviously they may also shoot your buns off in that city.;-)
Not likely! :-)

Good on you! 
ted
