[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I had expected to post a few pictures soon after my de-lurk last week but it took me longer than I expected to get my new iMac up and running and to get my photo files switched over. In any case, here are seven pictures from my trip to the UK last June. These were all taken with an Olympus C-60. I'm still working out how best to get film scans done. I'll post some of the Leica pix as soon as I've got that squared away. I shot 15 36-exposure rolls with my M7 and took about 500 pictures with the C-60 during the three weeks I was there. These are all straight from the camera except for slight crops on two of them and down-sizing for posting. I've posted two variations on one of the photos. I'd like to hear which one of these you think works best and am looking forward to your comments on all of them. Enjoy! Glasgow Science Center. The Clyde calmed down late one evening and we finally had a non-rainy sunset. This was taken at about 10:30 PM.

It was a quiet place. C-60 ASA 100 Auto. <http://gallery.leica-users.org/PICKS/P6300019_lug> Castlerigg stone circle near Keswick. More rain, but I liked the mood the rain and fog created at this ancient site. C-60 ASA 200 Auto (and more than a little noisy). <http://gallery.leica-users.org/PICKS/P7010008_lug> Cambridge: Trinity Lane on yet another somber morning. <http://gallery.leica-users.org/PICKS/P7050042_cropped_lug> Under a bridge on the Cam. I'd gone punting on only the second sunny evening of the trip. Version 1 - Uncropped. <http://gallery.leica-users.org/PICKS/P7060074_lug> Version 2 - Cropped to eliminate the bright spot to the right. <http://gallery.leica-users.org/PICKS/P7060074_2_lug> Many thanks for looking and for any comments you might make. And, Ted, thanks for the kind words of welcome last week. -- Regards, Dick Boston MA
