M8 First Birthday Favorite Photo

[wparsonsgisnet]

If this turns into a book -- and I fervently hope so -- with contributors from many countries, it would be suitable to have it printed in the languages of every contributor.

For language translations we can ask the posters to provide the text.

(If no one else speaks English I'll provide all the captions for my own photos, indicating that I am a direct descendant of Ansel Adams and Imogen Cunningham and only use Leica equipment because it meets the strict standards required by me and the other members of the Group f/64.)

All joking aside, this book could reflect both the anniversary of what may turn out to be one of the most important imaging devices of the century as well as a work of art.

And just in case anyone has forgotten, I posted at the beginning of the year that this camera would be required for all pros within 2 years. I'm still taking wagers....

Sehr klassisch, Ferdinand, die Leica in den Bergen... Ist das der Alpenhauptkamm im Hintergrund?

Yes it is. The picture was shot in the Dachstein area.

Wonderful shot!

[m.w.]

"One year of Leica M8 Testshots" would be a nice title.

Where are the taperulers and brick walls then? I think there are some pretty awesome images in this thread, actually more than some.....

[m.w.]

Hello Jaap, all the pictures in this forum are "awesome", terrific and fantastic.

[ferdinand]

They are looking for proper count scenes

Here some other pics from the Dachstein area

No, Michael, - they are not. Some are top-notch work, most are good to excellent, some are a bit less, but still a worthwhile expression of the photographer. Look at photographs without preconceptions.

"Morgenstimmung" und "Fernsicht1" gehören m.E. auch hierhin!

Are there to be rules for the pix in this thread?

If we are celebrating a year with the M8, why would there be any other rule?

Here my M8 picture, from spring 2007

Okay, I have not been very vocal in this forum. Sorry for that. It will hopefully change. But I am delighted by the idea of this thread, by how different M8 photography is and by how individual M8 photographers see the world in their very own style.

It was very hard to select only three to represent my portfolio as I like them all ;-). Anyway, here are my three contributions.

#1 "Einfahrt verboten" (Keep Out)

[el_greco]

#2 - "Asphalt Lyrik" (Asphalt Lyrics)

The text on the asphalt cover says "Free" in German.

#3 - "Freiheit" (Freedom)
