But you didn't buy the wrong book. Thanks so much, Jayne, for letting us know about The Girl with the Leica. It's beautifully written (translated from the Italian) and very, very ambitious. The author is a major literary figure, and undoubtedly more great things to come.

Having read The Girl with the Leica, as I walked up the stairs to the Robert Capa rooms, I realised I was looking at Gerda's portrait of him, taken with his Leica (I think in Segovia), which was used in The Picture Post, and proclaiming him as the greatest war photographer, toting his Eyemo movie camera😁!   I was a bit sneaky as no photo's allowed in the museum.  All his photographs in the rooms obviously but the press articles about her tragic death were in there too.

Thanks so very much for this and for being our Capa memorializer. I didn't know half of any of this until your photo including the book. Of course, his death was a tragic one, too. He had recently founded Magnum with HCB and had a long career ahead of him. Thanks so much, Jayne, and I urge all of us to read the book and appreciate the power of images in such terrible times.

It was all new to me too Ken, until I started researching for my trip to Budapest, of course I had heard of Capa and seen some of his WWII images, the name Gerda Taro rang a bell somewhere in my head but that's it.   So much to learn so little time😊.

These are stupendous. Can you remember your settings?

Thanks Dippy.   ISO 1600, not certain on aperture but I would have stopped down slightly from 1.5 so possibly f/2 or 2.8 for both, shutter was 1/125 for the first 1/250 the second, it was windy and blooming cold on that boat, thankfully the rain stopped for a few minutes😁.

Blaenau Ffestiniog is the former slate capital of the world. High in the hills above I found this set of former slate cutting workshops. I took more than 100 photos in an hour. Here's one.
