Subject: [Leica] IMG: Warm Spot on a Cold Day

With overnight lows in the teens (deg F), and daytime highs in the lower 
20s, I decided to look for indoor subjects.  The fireplace was the favorite 
location for the day, and I had never had much luck photographing it.  After 
futile attempts at AE with the flickering flames, I decided to explore 
manual exposure on the E-1.  This was the best of several exposures, made 
with various ISO and shutter speed combinations.

Details: E-1 with 50/1.4 Takumar, ISO 200, 1/30 at f/2.8, RAW, PSE 6.0
