KM-25 Posted March 2, 2008 Share #301 Posted March 2, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Here is a gallery of some of the images I made on "Leica-Day": http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/people/47404-my-leica-day-out-takes.html#post500151 I was going to sell the M8, but I can now see that despite all the issues, that would be a lame move. Let's do this again! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speenth Posted March 2, 2008 Share #302 Posted March 2, 2008 Here is a gallery of some of the images I made on "Leica-Day": http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/people/47404-my-leica-day-out-takes.html#post500151 I was going to sell the M8, but I can now see that despite all the issues, that would be a lame move. Let's do this again! Well, this event has been very positive all round and if an illustration were needed - this is it! A jaded Leica owner has his faith restored. Its a miracle folks! KM - Keep having fun with your great camera - just like the rest of us! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantist Posted March 2, 2008 Share #303 Posted March 2, 2008 ...but couldn't shoot properly yesterday. Had a hell of a time with french administration (one of the worst species) I'm quite sure you were driven accidently, by mistake, error and wrong, through to the Complains' Office. I can't see any other and further issue to your relationship with that terrible "octopus" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StS Posted March 2, 2008 Share #304 Posted March 2, 2008 Well, I can only repeat what has been said. I would like to give my best thanks to Ann Barton for the initial suggestion, Bill for getting it rolling, Andreas for setting it up (hoping to get the credits right) and all you Leicagraphics around the world for making this unique event happen. The outcome is overwhelming. I would be highly in favour to repeat this experience. However, if we stick to Feb. 29th, we would have the same issue as the unhappy chap who threw quite a party in my hotel during the Leica day... Thank you again Stefan Welcome, dear visitor!

Thank you again Stefan Stefan, For info, on other threads I've suggested a yearly event on Oskar Barnack's birthday - 1st November. Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
semrich Posted March 2, 2008 Share #306 Posted March 2, 2008 For those who are developing their own film and scanning is there a deadline for posting images? In my case I will be developing tomorrow and posting on Tuesday, I could post a digital image now, but I like film and think there my be shots more in keeping with what I want to post.

christoph_d Posted March 2, 2008 Share #307 Posted March 2, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Richard, Good question, I think I'll get my Kodachrome pics back in 2 weeks or so... and that's before the scanning... Rgds, C. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stunsworth Posted March 2, 2008 Share #309 Posted March 2, 2008 Interesting to see the map as well - though some people (myself included initially) - haven't realised you need to post the address of the Jpeg, not the web page that the Jpegs on. We're waiting for the first contribution from Antarctica, other than that we seem to have the continents covered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldhayden Posted March 2, 2008 Share #310 Posted March 2, 2008 Film for me probably processed tomorrow and scanned later in the week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPerson Posted March 2, 2008 Share #311 Posted March 2, 2008 I gave up on the map it was starting to look to crowded and messy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted March 2, 2008 Share #312 Posted March 2, 2008 I gave up on the map it was starting to look to crowded and messy. Not if you zoom in a bit (or a lot). What's interesting is that some of the features you can see in the Google map also appear in the posters' photographs. Ok, not really that interesting <grin> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfalo Posted March 2, 2008 Share #313 Posted March 2, 2008 one question concering the terms and conditions of the Leica day: My wife, who was in china on the 29th, also took some pictures with her brand new D-Lux 3. I know, the rule is only one shot per member, but would it be ok if I post her contribution in my name? I think I could not convince her to register here and it would only add another inactive member to the forum.... Yours Olaf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not set it up for her? Regards, Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_parker Posted March 2, 2008 Share #316 Posted March 2, 2008 Not if you zoom in a bit (or a lot). What's interesting is that some of the features you can see in the Google map also appear in the posters' photographs. Ok, not really that interesting <grin> I was very impressed by the Google map - you don't have to zoom in much for it to separate out and make sense I'm not quite as sure about the gallery - the comment about jumble earlier appears to me to be a valid one - I have to say I prefer the thread system, where you scroll down past a narrative and a full size image - that seems to me to be much more involving and avoids the possibility of missing a good image from misunderstanding the thumbnail. That having been said I appreciate that the Gallery system is a good way of offering a lot of images without an extremely bulky download and in any event my congratulations go to Andreas for a great technical achievement delivered effectively (and on time ) !!

Robert -- if you click on a thumbnail so that it expands, and you get a bigger image with a little title at the bottom, then if you use the left and right arrow keys on the keyboard, you get all the images that are on the same page, one after another, without having to go back to the thumbnails. Makes going through them a lot faster. John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spylaw4 Posted March 3, 2008 Share #318 Posted March 3, 2008 Can one increase the number of thumbs per page? I can't seem to locate an option to do this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravastar Posted March 3, 2008 Share #319 Posted March 3, 2008 Hmmm... I think there's something not quite right about how the "number of views" and "most viewed" function is working. Up to the last 3 days the most viewed pictures had a count of around 170 but overnight this has jumped to more than 1000 for some pictures which were posted less than 18 hrs ago. Very strange. Bob.

SJP Posted March 3, 2008 Share #320 Posted March 3, 2008 I like the gallery and the map. From that it would appear that South America and Africa are nearly unexplored market opportunities for Leica. Greenland, Alaska and Antarctica are also worth considering for further development. I was wondering whether it would be possible to have a downloadable folder (zip file) available so that the images can be stored locally and you can use the slideshow option (or install as a screensaver)? Anyway 'A Leica Day' is/was a great initiative! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
