jcraf Posted April 26, 2009 Share #61 Posted April 26, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) 1000 apologies for not turning up when I had received such a cordial invitation - looks like you all had a great time, and some great shots were made. I had forgotten that I was booked to be bimbling around a certain German town on the Lahn and Dill, as well as taking a factory tour, which was great. Thanks to Herr Ralph Hagenauer; a fantastic Leica host. Interesting to see how things have changed at Solms since my last factory tour, which was long before M8 production. Didn't see any S2s or white M8s though. But a lot of areas did have opaque glass to foil nosey sods like me. Saw a bloke working on a 0.95 Noctilux - there's a morbid fascination in seeing a 6000 quid lens in bits albeit a development 'hack' - and it was admitted that the lens is indeed delayed for 'technical reasons'. So the credit card is safe for now. Anyhow, here's hoping that I can make the next London meet. Cheers John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

spylaw4 Posted April 26, 2009 Share #62 Posted April 26, 2009 Jeez I look p*ss*d. What time of day was this? My favourite so far has to be Brian's valiant attempt at reproducing those marvellous Richard Bryant pictures. I've put his book on my Amazon wish-list as a hint for the offspring for Father's Day. Lousi Thanks Louis. Did you know that you can order quality paper or canvas prints on line from Somerset House Trust. I'm tempted by the Barge on the Thames one!

biglouis Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share #68 Posted April 27, 2009 Ivor Interesting set of photos. Firstly, the water jet is fantastic but the colour rendition of the Nelson Stairs is probably the closest of all posted. And that's from a DLUX4!

steve kessel Posted April 30, 2009 Share #79 Posted April 30, 2009 Tim, Louis Thank you. However I feel I have a couple of advantages that steered me towards something a bit unusual: first, I work as an an architect which give me a good understanding of the "anatomy" of a staircase and secondly, I'd been to this building before not so long ago. Having said that, I'm not generally that interested in architecture as a subject for photography. Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
