[Leica] My First Leica PAW! (Ron de-lurks)

[ron-price at curiousrobot.com (Ron Price)]

Hello, all!

My name's Ron. I'm an amateur (photographer, that is) in Columbus, OH, USA.

I've been lurking here for a couple of years now... I think I had one post
when I first started looking at Leicas (and I bought my 35mm Summicron from
Phong here), but I've been silent since. I've been trying to re-dedicate
myself to getting out and shooting, so I've started a PAW project. This week
is the first time since I started where I was shooting with my M6.

To make my LUG debut all the more nerve-wracking, I had very little (less
than usual, even) to choose from this week. I did, however, learn two
things:

1) I am not yet capable of estimating development times for films shot at
ASAs for which I do not have a chart; and

2) Even if you underdevelop your film by quite a bit, you can still salvage
an image if you point your camera directly at the sun:

Not much, I know, but the point of this is to make myself do it, post it,
and take my lumps, right?

The PAW index (three weeks old!) can be found here:

And some other stuff of mine is here:

Thanks to all who look, comment, or criticize! I hope to hear from some of
you...


Seeya,

Ron
