Subject: [Leica] Summertime

Since I have a lot of time on my hands I have been
riding my bike around taking pictures for the past few
days.  I havn't developed most of them but here are a
few from the past few weeks.  I find my photos
becoming more simplistic. I guess I have been trying
to limit the number of subjects within the frame or
maybe I just need to go shooting with my 28mm more
often.

Church Work: This is a very straightforward shot,
though I had to be carefull to get detail inside and
outside the church.

Prom: I took a lot of pictures at prom using a manual
flash that I had been testing the week before.  I
surprisingly got the correct apperature on about 95%
of my shots.  Here is one of two freinds dancing.  I
kept the shutter at 1/50th, though it might have been
better to lengthen the time to fill in the background.
 There is actually a lot more shadow detail(such as in
the tux) but I have a stupid scanner right now.

Basketball:  I found a good park that is up on the top
of a hill next to an airport so that there are no
trees around and the magic hour lasts about an hour
and a half.  Of course I am shooting black and white
so I don't get that cool glow.  Again this photo has a
lot more shadow detail IRL.
