I'm dead chuffed

I know I've been whining in another thread about a specific issue with one lens but you all know I love my M8 really - a lot - so I am very chuffed indeed that Leica have linked to my Venice Gallery from their M8 home page at

 

Leica Camera AG - Photography - M8

 

It's very small (gray in the list towards bottom right) but it is there...

 

Until November last year I'd never touched a Leica. Kudos to the M8 for 'bringing me on' !

 

Now I just have to figure how to make some money with it....

Great to see those images again, hard to believe its only been 4 months but when you have the eye....

 

Just 1 side point, is there a bandwidth restriction for homepage on mac.com..?

Edmund's profile page was unavailable due to restrictions and he uses homepage.mac.com.

Hi Jim, and thank you!

 

I'm not sure about.mac bandwidth but most of my stuff is on Zenfolio these days so I wouldn't notice... would Edmund's profile page have some very high bandwidth content?

Well they are great images and you could do worse than sell them to Leica for use in the next brochure. Magnum photographer or not, I thought the pictures in the original brochure were pretty dull and unlikely to inspire prospective buyers.

I think the last time he mentioned it that 300 people had downloaded his profiles (a 1MB zip file), but I'm not sure of the time scale.

Why not pm him and ask ( user name eronald )

 

His new page is Edmund Ronald's Color Management News

1000 people visited the download page .

I hadn't noticed the whining

you should be proud & I could not think of a better example than your Venice gallery for Leica to show

congrats

Thanks Arty,

 

Of course when I say whining I mean rational questioning/criticism...

Tim - Stop whining and keep making those beautiful pictures ! the quality of light in Venice is just amazing ! :)

 

 

You're right - the whole place is one huge lightbox with pale stone and water. Diffusion Heaven... and of course the city pays for great models in great costumes to pose for free. What's not to like?!

Thank you Mark,

 

I have to say I liked their original shots ( do you mean the ones shot in London's black community?)

 

They were featured in a few Brit photo mags before the M8 was released and I thought their intimacy was quite compelling: I like what M cameras let you do with moderate wides in close situations, and the colour seems to me to be both saturated and understated - which is a hard thing to get right!

Tim - Congratulations. If this means that you are now a Grandee, maybe you can pull some strings to get your Summilux sorted. Well done, may your chuff not be snuffed.

My 'lux is, as we say here in Blighty, as wide as a snuff's chuff ...

 

you really have to be english and a bit rude to make sense of that... it does not appear in any but the most vernacular of dictionaries...

Bravo, Tim.

Extraordinary images.

What lens (lenses) did you use, if you don't mind my asking.

Brad

 

 

Hi Brad,

 

There's an alternative version of this gallery available

at

 

Zenfolio | Tim Ashley | Venice Carnival with M8

 

If you hover your mouse over the top right of each enlarged shot (the 'i' icon) you'll see the full EXIF which will tell you the lens if coded. If not coded, it was either the CV15 or the 90 f2 'cron, you can tell by the DOF and perspectiive. If you can't tell, ask here and I'll try to reverse-engineer an answer...

None of the above! English (and highly vernacular but widely understood) example:

 

He's so mean, he's as tight as a gnat's chuff.

 

Sorry!
