I ask to shot a portrait of she, but the Bar was so dark that it was very difficult for me focusing at 1:0, I could hardly see anything, plus the M6 rangefinder shows flare in some cases, I remembered Ted's quote ?If you can see it, you can shot it?, I finally shot and the portrait didn't turn out bad at all. Here are the pictures, all with Leica M6, Noctilux 50 IV wide open, Ilford Delta 400, developed with D-76 1:1, I will show some other Bars. There is a light that never goes out <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/luisrq/El_Raval/2024F010121.jpg.html> A chat with the waiter <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/luisrq/El_Raval/2024F010119.jpg.html> She discovered me <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/luisrq/El_Raval/2024F010122.jpg.html> Lorena <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/luisrq/El_Raval/2024F010123.jpg.html> Thanks for looking, your c&c are welcome Saludos cordiales Lluis
