And in the true mark of a "Real Photographer" ;-) Shot in B&W! :-) My earlier question regarding window light portraiture was to learn what technique each of us use while doing this kind of simple Leica photography using available existing light. Wonderful responses by many illustrating a number of folks do this without any fuss or long term setting up lights, back drops and other paraphernalia to achieve beautiful photographs in true "KISS" fashion, "Keep it simple stupid!" Of which yours so nicely illustrates. (Sorry Dan not implying your stupid!) :-) One of the September Leica Seminar presentations is just this topic. "Portraits by Window Light" so the lads and lasses of the LUG confirmed it will be an interesting subject to present. As Sandy Carter my associate and I have produced a number of images to compliment my existing slides from assignments of the past. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this topic, very much appreciated. And to those LUG members attending, I believe you'll be pleasantly surprised at the results and what we achieved with the simplest of technique.. ted
