dave.gt Posted June 25, 2015 Share #5407 Posted June 25, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Apologies for being absent for awhile, 24/7 caregiving and life itself tend to get in the way of just living. It is difficult to find time to shoot, develop film (which I just started doing this week), and visit forums for my own therapy. The time available is short and after an 18 month hiatus, my therapist recommended strongly that I get involved in photography forums for my own therapy. I resisted due to my deep depression but out of desperation, I realized that social isolation and creative suppression was deadly for me. So, when I found that I had a renewed interest in photography, specifically Leica and film, I pulled on my boots, grabbed the boot straps and lifted myself out of the muck of life. I am so grateful that happened but it was extremely hard just to do something simple and enjoy what I enjoyed before. The reason I let you in on a small corner of my life, and my inadequacies as a human living in defeat, is to set the facts out for me to see as I state my own feelings about this thread. There is much discussion around about diluting the "Leica gear only" nature of this thread. I understand and I am sympathetic towards all who have stated their position. I am disheartened to find a disruption of a few moments in the day when I am free to enter another part of the world to enjoy Leica-centered discussion. Please know that I have a long history with Nikon and other camera brands as well as different formats, medium format and, of course, DSLRs professionally. But these days I am only on LUF for the discussion of Leica film cameras. I am not that interested in the gear anymore as I am happy with my M3 and my M6. The little time I have to visit forums is precious and difficult as it is to find this thread and it is tucked in under "Other". The discussions are filed under "Other"! A special interest is already handicapped by the forum (sub-forum) title. Now there is discussion about diluting the special nature to include a lot of other wonderful images from wonderful formats and brands. I feel, personally, that it will make my own visits less frequent as I have enough to deal with just getting to this place as it is. This is a fantastic thread with amazing people posting here. I am learning quite a lot. I don't look forward to reading through a lot of posts on the iphone just to find images made from Leica bodies and/or lenses. The munchkin nature of an iphone drives me up a wall sometimes but I enjoy the portability, otherwise, I would never find time to visit from my PC. I will finish now with a caveat about diluting special interests. As a charter member years ago in the Nikon forum (yes, the big one), the manual focus section which included our beloved rangefinders was extremely busy and had many knowledgeable people. That was maybe 8-10 years ago. The administration lumped all of the RF and manual focus discussions in with every film camera Nikon made. And of course, they started charging $25/year for the privilege. Within a year, the forum was abandoned. Today, there may be a handful of posts on a daily basis, if they are lucky. The people I knew on THAT forum migrated to the huge rangefinder forum that I have enjoyed for so long. So, my point is simply a statement that I learn anew everyday, "If it isn't broken, don't fix it." I will add to that what Andreas said, LUF has to be very careful how they make changes. I am very interested in making changes when they improve the forum and serve the membership well. This is my last comment on this topic. Carry on and I will try to keep up! Whatever is decided, I will continue to respect the final direction and, hopefully, be a contributor. I only wish I had more to offer. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave.gt Posted June 25, 2015 Share #5408 Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) We are off to Emory for yet another doctor's visit but I have just enough time to share a boring photo. The photo is from my first developing attempt of Eastman 5222 Double X film. Using the M6 and a 50mm 1.5 Nokton lens, I was happy just to get snap of our youngest grandson unaware of my presence. Otherwise, I would have gotten a cheesy smile! Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

Have you ever considered documenting your unfortunate journey (which i sincerely hope ends immediately) through hospitals and doctors' offices photographically, through for example, portraiture involving interesting people whom you encounter? You are an amazing photographer and your work in this regard could have very broad interest, and inspire the people whom encounter. Just a thought and, again, i sincerely hope that any and all ailments for you and your family will end speedily. Best, adam 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfbldwn Posted June 25, 2015 Share #5410 Posted June 25, 2015 Otherwise, I would have gotten a cheesy smile! You captured the reach for the beverage, with straw dramatically upright, and perfect focus for this image(IMHO). Decisive and dramatic. Well done. I can haz developer, dilution, time & temperature please? Cheers, David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A miller Posted June 25, 2015 Share #5411 Posted June 25, 2015 Singapore, some years back. Leica M3 - Elmar 50mm 2.8 Fuji Acros 100 Lab developed wow, this is super sharp! very nice! As sharp as I've seen with digitized film. This lends further support to my viewpoint that paying a super premium for the 50mm APO summicron is not incrementally cost-beneficial. Thanks for sharing. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave.gt Posted June 25, 2015 Share #5412 Posted June 25, 2015 Thanks, guys. you are very kind especially for someone like me, so unworthy. Photography is quite a journey with each photograph telling a story. I enjoy this forum because of folks like you. I am looking forward to your own stories to come as those you all have posted inspire me to continue! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
