Saludos cordiales Luis -----Mensaje original----- De: lug-bounces+luisripoll=telefonica.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+luisripoll=telefonica.net@leica-users.org] En nombre de Howard Cummer Enviado el: domingo, 09 de marzo de 2008 2:37 Para: lug@leica-users.org Asunto: [Leica] Walk about with the M8 - Stanley Street, Hong Kong Central Hi Luggers, I have been romancing my Nikon D300 for the past few weeks and started to feel guilty about not exercising the M8 which has been languishing untouched in the dry box. So, I took it out Friday and took the ferry into town to visit my favourite camera store - Miramar Camera on Stanley street in Central. While there, an older Chinese gentleman came in with his M6, Noctilux attached, to inquire about getting the white lettering on the Noctilux repainted. The light sources in Miramar Camera are multiple kelvin temperatures and before the software upgrade the M8 could not record a reasonable image using AWB. That is now changed and much improved. Please see: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/Hong+Kong+Pix/ BenOldGuyw.jpg.html http://tinyurl.com/ytu5f7 Here is the same photo processed in CS 2 to grayscale. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/Hong+Kong+Pix/ BenOldGuyBWw.jpg.html http://tinyurl.com/27vtf3 It is finally spring in Hong Kong and the weather is turning warmer. The old tailor who has his sewing machine set up in an open sided shed on Stanley street was hard at work as I went by. Here's the colour version: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/Hong+Kong+Pix/ StanleyStTailorw.jpg.html http://tinyurl.com/2x7j8j And here is the same photo in CS 2 gray scale: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/Hong+Kong+Pix/ StanleyStTailorBWw.jpg.html http://tinyurl.com/225dzf Please enjoy. Comments most welcome as always. Cheers Howard (off to Bali on Tuesday to continue with my motor cycle series - pondering whether to take the M8 or the D300 or both) _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
