managed to get a few pictures but got there late...still was happy to experience this. I'm tired and the images need some work but thought it would be fun to share them for Thanksgiving!

Thanks Paul. I was annoyed that I missed most of the action. I shouldn't have made plans that night as this was a great place to shoot, especially with the Monochrome.

 

I like image 3 i rested the camera on the rail and lowered shutter speed and took one shot.

 

I brought the 35mm Summilux...a lense I though I would not use as I have kept the 28mm Summicron practically glued on the camera and thought I'd sell the 35 but that little voice said.."never sell a Leica lense" as I've made that mistake before.

 

I think I actually prefer the look somehow from this lense a bit even stopped down it might be just a bit better than the Summicron...really not sure and don't care much but it's interesting.

 

The 35mm focal length and of course 1.4 is great..this is probably my night combo!

 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Aw Ty for these. Here on the west coast just turning the parade on. I loved going the night before when I lived in NYC (and shot film) I never got much but loved it.

The last is quite funny with the Theodore memorial sign in the back.

And 3 is so interesting with the still view from the moving carriage. I try that idea again.

 

Happy thanksgiving!

Great series. I especially like the Pretzel shot.

 

thank you...It was funny as it happens, that I was setting up the shot as the vendor stuck out the pretzel like that..glad I was able to nail focus...funny when the pressure is on and you just know you have almost no time. That's the danger of liking a picture you took...do you like it cause you got it right or is it any good? lol

 

I am really looking forward to shooting more than ever between now and New Years with nightvision!! And my 35mm 1.4 is safe and secure...false alarm there..what was I thinking? :p
