Dialogues with GOD for a Nun.

Alone in the church with her thoughts.

 

Leica M9 and Leica APO Summicron 90 mm.

 

1/24 SEC f2.8 ISO 640.

Indeed one can ask what God's plan is for the world of today, this is what her mimic conveys to me

 

(Very good example of what a APO Summicron 90 can deliver in the hands of a good photographer)

At a tangent, I'm really impressed with what can be done with a 90mm APO 'in the hands of a good photographer', as Otto.f states, and Jhon the Warrior' was another who could entice magic from said lens.

 

But as I see it, for someone like me who struggles with a 50/f1.4 to hit the spot on a regular basis (see also the article by Overgaard on focusing a RF - even Thorsten admits to missing shots wide open and simply accepts the attrition) then however attractive the 90 appears, it's not a lens for me.

Ok, that's saved me some £s, $'s groats or whatever currency I have available! :)

It's just a matter of learning and practice as The warrior shows me walking many times in the streets of Madrid.

 

Now walking in the street with persons coming to me in the opposite direction i am able to nail the focus of my APO 90mm at F4

 

Of course i see the warrior doing the same but at F2.............with a very fast walking subjects but at the moment i am not able to do it...........so lets continue practicing :)

It's known that pilots have good hand eye and feet coordination (I only held a ppl, haha) so you have a head start on me.

But seriously, I'm aware it's practice and yet more practice. I hope Jhon is keeping well, tell him he is missed here on the forum. I see his posts on Flickr so I know he's quite active on the street.

Yes during last 6 days i was with him here in Madrid all day long in the street, sadly i have to go back to U.K and continue working.

 

I will tell to him regards from you.

Thanks for your quick replay. I just picked a 90AA a week ago and so far I´m loving the results. 

 In Madrid I used to go to el Rastro on sundays for street shooting. If you happen to come to Madrid would be a pleasure to buy you a beer :)

 BTW. Your Spanish is perfect ( much better than my crappy English)
