The first was actually taken a while ago by our former exchange student Dr. Rainer Blaas, of Freiburg, Germany. He wanted to go for a ride in my old cub. There is joy in the face of the pilot. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Lee/the+Pilot/ We have been cross country skiing lately. My wife skied by this grouse at a distance of 1 to 2 feet without seeing it. I decided to try Doug Herr's advice of looking as much like a herbivore as possible and did get pretty close. It is not as beautiful as Doug would have made it but it was with a 50 mm lens and the M8. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Lee/ruffed+grouse/ The last two are the result of what on the LUG is known as a Ted moment. I walked by the kitchen as my wife was preparing dessert for guests. I looked and said to myself, damn, that is beautiful, I have to photograph that. The early version turned out best to my mind, but the finished product was both beautiful to see and to eat. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Lee/dessert/ Thanks for looking. Lee
