Lazy Sunday Afternoon at High West Distillery in Park City, Utah Summicron 50 (IV) on Leica M9© yes

While I was sat having coffee in my favourite spot this morning this young lady came and stood immediately in front of me. To her I must have been invisible because I simply raised my camera to my eye, focused, and pressed the button. She was probably only about a meter away from me but her thoughts were obviously somewhere else. I used available light. Leica M240 + 50mm Summicron-M f2. 1/180 f2.8 @ 320iso. This is full frame and processed in Lightroom Classic. Gerry

I was in two minds over this - I nearly dumped it but I liked its 'filmic' qualities so much I decided to keep it, and I now think it is one of the best images I have taken for a long time. To me it has the wonderful atmosphere of uprated Tri-X. Agree or don't agree, I don't really care, I just LOVE it - and wasn't it HC-B who said “Sharpness is a bourgeois concept". Leica M240 + 35mm Summarit-M f2.5 @ 1250 iso using available light only. 1/15th @ f5.6. Gerry

I have shot very little this past year for various health and Covid reasons. Here is one that I was pleased with from my favourite café. It is a grab shot as I just had the camera resting on the table and didn't look through the viewfinder. Leica M7 + 35mm Summarit-M f2.5. Kodak T-Max 400 at 400. No exposure values recorded. Commercially processed and scanned at home. Gerry

I have struggled with his image for a long time (I actually took it in 1997) mainly because I shot it on Agfa Vista 800 colour films nd the train after scanning was horrendous. I have now had another go using Dfine 2 to try and calm the grain down, and have produced this which I am reasonably pleased with. Taken with a Leica M6 using available light only in the Louvre in Paris. Sorry, no other details are available. Gerry

Another from my favourite cafe. This is a candid shot taken handheld at 1/30th @ f2.5 by available light. Leica M6 + 35mm Summarit-M f2.5. Agfa APX400 film processed in Adox FX39. Gerry

I spotted this rather distinctive young lady at an open-air fitness event in my city and simply asked if I could take a photograph of her. I just love her unconventional look and individualism which challenges society norms. She said that Rollerblade Derby was the most important thing in her life. To me she demonstrates that there is more to young people than drugs and violence. Leica M240 + 35mm Summarit-M f2.5 @ 400iso Gerry

I thought I would try colour for a change. It constantly amazes me that I (1.8m tall and 104kg) can stand there and photograph without being noticed! Leica M240 - 1/30th f6.8 @ 320iso handheld. Gerry

I am slowly managing to get out more now, ands back in my usual coffee shop yesterday. I couldn't resist taking a candid image of this young lady at the counter because of her height. She must have been about 1.8 metres. Leica M240 + 35mm Summarit f2.5 @ 1250 iso. 1/250 @ f2.8 and post-processed in Lightroom Classic. Gerry

I took this charming image candidly at my favourite café. It is not my normal practice to talk to my subjects, but if there are children involved I normally introduce myself and explain what I have done and ask for permission to use the image. I don't recall ever having been refused, although it is slightly more awkward shooting film as opposed to digital because you cannot show the parent the image. This young mother was quite happy with what I had done. Leica M7 + 35mm Summarit-M f2.5 using Kodak T-Max 400 and only available light. 1/125 @ f2.8

Another from my latest film back from the lab. This was taken on the M7 prior to getting rid of it (big mistake!) using the 35mm Summarit-M f2.5. Film is Kodak T-Max400 processed by Harman Labs who do a pretty good job. No idea of exposure (sorry) but was available light only. I particularly love the face of the little child in the background.

Savanna in the afternoon spring sun. Leica M240, Voigtlander 75mm f1.8 at f2.

While I was having coffee at my favourite place this guy was sat running his office over his cup of coffee. "Hi, it's Mike the Magician" he said down the telephone. Sadly the guy at the other end didn't seem to know who he was. I took this candid shot of him with the M240 + 50mm lens at 1600iso. I then processed it through Lightroom Classic. Hope you like it!

An available light portrait of Maya in the dance studio adjoining my photography studio. Leica M240, 50mm Summicron at f2.8.

I took my regular visit to my favourite city-centre coffee shop and when he served me the guy behind the counter said "Have you taken any good snaps yet today?". I hadn't, but whilst I sat there with my coffee and Danish this scenario appeared in front of me. It is a candid image, and they did not notice me at any time. I used my M240 fitted with the 50mm Zeiss Sonnar f1.5 and I was working at 1,000iso. Exposure was 1/60th @ f6.8. post-processing was in Lightroom Classic. Hope you like it! Gerry
