Today I have meetings at the European Commission later this morning, but yesterday I took a morning flight so as to have a Sunday afternoon and evening to enjoy the city in sunshine and warm weather. For once, I took my Leica M8 on the trip, figuring that with daylight from 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. I would have enough light not to need high ISOs (the Leica?s weak point). On the other hand, I would be able to take advantage of the Leica?s strength, in particular for discreet people photography, where the ability to pre-focus and quickly compose and snap make it a supreme tool on the street. Seven images, taken throughout the day (the first two on the plane). This one, of a fellow passenger?s legs, has some of that dreaded Leica banding?I shot it at ISO 320 but it was underexposed so in effect I shot it at a higher ISO with the resulting technical imperfections. But I still like it: https://www.greatpix.eu/All/Picture-A-Day/i-FGmJQ2p/A Shortly before landing, the crew announced that this was the captains last flight before retiring after a 43-year career in the air. The passengers applauded heartily, and when we landed and I was disembarking, I shook his hand and asked to take a quick portrait: https://www.greatpix.eu/All/Picture-A-Day/i-4CHhWMR/A Brussels was full of people and these electric scooters on this warm summer day. Most looked pretty unstable. I just read that this is the most dangerous transport mode of all?three times riskier than riding a motorcycle: https://www.greatpix.eu/All/Picture-A-Day/i-hHGVVth/A Ice cream was in great demand on this warm day. This one was taken near Grand?
