Thank you, Steve, Paulino and Marc.  

Shooting into the light is most fun with a film camera, as a good quality digitized negative has a wide latitude in the highlights.  It would be extremely challenging to capture this scene in this way with a digital camera, particularly a Monochrom (at least the first version).

I wish you all lots of fun shooting scenes like this with your film Ms, whether currently owned or soon to be acquired ;)

Best, Adam

Thanks, JD.  Hope you are well.

HollyMolly. Amazing shot Adam. What that cold related or smoke?

Funny, Rodrigue.  It was well below freezing and the woman was, indeed, smoking a cigarette.

Nice one Adam. Agree with the point about the exposure latitude with film for such photographs. Much harder with digital

right on, Mark, which is why I no longer use digital cameras.  They don't give me anything other than convenience.  And I am willing to sacrifice this for better photographs with lasting interest elements...

What a wonderful photograph! Simply stunning with all the elements I can think of insofar as what a great photo should be...perfect (for me). Classic camera, film, against the light, great rendering, good focus, spot-on timing, atmosphere . . . 

 

I am using my M6 more and more with black and white but I have not been able to produce something like this, though I aspire to. Just yesterday, I returned from Berlin where I went to an exhibition called "100 years of Leica Photography". There were some great exhibits from the masters on display and your photograph resonated with what I saw. 

 

Congratulations, A miller. Take a bow, man.

Lovely shot...the silhouettes stand out tall, the smoke.... the glitter of light in the backdrop but shining to the pavement in the foreground.... well done, jim

Hi Suede and Jim - I sincerely thank you for your comments.  If you are ever in NYC during lunch time in the winter, please do look me up as there is a lot that we can do together photographically :)  Best, Adam
