Overgaard Posted May 4, 2009 Share #1 Posted May 4, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) This is the photo made with a Leica by Danish photographer Erik Petersen during WWII in Denmark that made me interested in Leica many years ago (click to number two of the series): Politikens fotografer fastholdt besættelsen i fotos - Politiken.dk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

earleygallery Posted May 4, 2009 Share #3 Posted May 4, 2009 Interesting link, but I doubt the photographer was using an M8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overgaard Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share #4 Posted May 4, 2009 Would have been a protype then ;-) I remember him well in television telling about his photos and how he always used Leica M. At that point I knew what I would be aiming for in terms of camera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaryink Posted May 4, 2009 Share #5 Posted May 4, 2009 Very powerful images which highlights the use of a rangefinder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marquinius Posted May 4, 2009 Share #6 Posted May 4, 2009 Thorsten, Fitting, in view of it being may 5th in a couple of hours: liberation day in Holland. Funny though: the freedom didn't come easily. Same picture can be seen positioned in Paris, Amsterdam, etc. Marco Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

grober Posted May 4, 2009 Share #8 Posted May 4, 2009 Thanks for sharing the link. I venture this Danish photographer risked his life to capture these shots on more than one occasion. Let's all never forget what filthy beasts all Nazis were. And how brave the Leitz family was in their subtle but heroic humanitarian efforts during the same period. -g Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile Posted May 5, 2009 Share #9 Posted May 5, 2009 Very poignant. It's amazing how many of the locations are still immediately recognisable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted May 5, 2009 Share #10 Posted May 5, 2009 At the risk of being accused of pedantry, this must have been taken with an LSM camera, if taken during the War Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overgaard Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share #11 Posted May 5, 2009 pedant! pedant! pedant! You're probably right. When I saw him on television he had an M4 and I bought the one his colleague at the paper had used. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPerson Posted May 5, 2009 Share #13 Posted May 5, 2009 My wife has a pearl pedant and matching earrings! Those are interesting images Thorsten. I like the joy in #22. Risky business using a camera in public in those dark times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
modschiedler Posted May 6, 2009 Share #14 Posted May 6, 2009 You're probably right. If one thing is for sure, it is just this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
