KM-25 Posted March 2, 2008 Share #1 Posted March 2, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Here are the images that I did not choose for the "Leica-Day" challenge: "Leica-Day"---I actually like this one better than the one I chose in hindsight because of the serendipity of folks having a splendid day out on Aspen Mountain. 28mm Summicron, M8. "Gondolas"---Again, brilliant sunshine with a person in one waving from his car backlit. 50 Summilux Asph, M8. "Ski-Team"---The women's US Ski Team in practice on Aspen Mountain as seen through barrier fencing. This was a one shot at a time deal at F/2, 1/8000th, pre-focused. I had to hold the camera in place for over a minute each time before each racer came barreling down......tedious! 50 Summilux Asph, M8. "Brawl"---A pair of ski nuts named "Trevor & Tarrence" give each other grief after a great run down Aspen Mountain. 28 Summicron, M8. "Red-Dog"---The Red Brick Art Center in Aspen placed a bright red dog statue in the middle of town to get people interested in a current show. There were some great reactions to it. 50 Summilux Asph, M8. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KM-25 Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share #2 Posted March 2, 2008 "Audi"---My car with last light to top off the day. 28 Summicron, M8. "Snowbox"---A neighbor's mailbox entombed in snow from a great ski season. 28 Summicron, M8. All in all, I have to say that with all the craziness with the M8 lately, I was really close to selling it. But this day changed my mind. It is simply the only camera I can carry all day with a lens on it and another lens in my ski jacket pocket as I do 30-40 MPH on my snowboard and not have to carry a pack. All of these are uncropped, near zero pos-production work right out of the camera. The backlit shots were especially tough with the ski poles since I had to put the camera on the ground ( Snow ) to get the pole tops high enough and could not look through the camera due to parallax error in hiding the sun. I had a great Leica-Day! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rono1 Posted March 2, 2008 Share #3 Posted March 2, 2008 The gondola shot is, well, brilliant! As well as your original selection! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertekijker Posted March 2, 2008 Share #4 Posted March 2, 2008 My 'safe' shot of the tulips, taken at home, just in case... And then on the way to work this incongruous restaurant sign (wasn't sure the humor would work - Maroccan restaurant and depiction of Taj Mahal in India...).

robert_parker Posted March 2, 2008 Share #6 Posted March 2, 2008 KM I particulaly enjoyed your #1 and #2 shot with original ways of occluding the sun - I also really like the 'Brawl' shot for its colour and the shapes and patterns Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
