Per,

Very nice. Great job at background replacement. I always have problems
with the hair, any suggestions?

Subject: [Leica] Some image to look at

Ok, so I took my first portrait with my new Elmarit-M 90.

Kinda funny. I was asked to make a portrait of the Swedish hypnotist 
Jörgen Sundvall. Stockholm was dark as a crypt, as usual at this time 
of the year. I had no flash. On my way to the appointment I dashed in 
slight panic into a second hand photo store, grabbed a (functional) 
flash for $3 from their junk box, then ran into a cloth shop and bought 
a piece of silver cloth. Off to Mr Sundvall, who was in a total hurry 
for another appointment. Had my wife hold up the silver cloth as a 
reflector, fired the cheapo flash through the white curtain in an 
attempt to diffuse it a bit -- and prayed.

The result, well here:

Ok, had to replace the background in Photoshop, but...

I am truly impressed by the performance of the Elmarit-M!
