[Leica] Leica on the Cover

Lugger:

My new book on Mackinac Island will be out this fall. I used several 
cameras including Canon EOS and various lenses, Mamiya 6s and three 
lenses, Sylvestri and Arca Swiss medium format cameras with Schneider 
and Fuji lenses, and of course, Leica Ms. From the more than 400 
slides and transparencies that made the final cut, the publisher has 
chosen a cover image made with a 35 Summicron.

The photograph is particularly interesting because I made the picture 
while riding my bicycle with all of my cameras packed. My M4-P was in 
my front bag, which I unzipped while riding to remove the camera. I 
guessed the exposure (250@2.8) and tab focused, squeezing off three 
frames while I rode.

It's a great image, which for all of the action it took to make, 
reflects a serene Mackinac Island setting of a horse carriage riding 
into a canopy of trees (there are no motorized vehicles on the 
island).

Another Leica Moment.
