Man o man the two hats. So very hard to see that image. People are always a soft target but with something as sterile as two hats and some clouds to make something worthwhile is very clever. It does of course have to be worthwhile not just oddity.

Leica M Monochrom
Summicron 35mm vers. II
Summicron 50mm vers. III
Yellow / Green filter

I need a hint:
How many vertical pixels when publishing images here? I used 1024 pixels and the images seems to be truncated when displayed on a tablet.
Wonder, why the images arent been scaled on the fly.

I was wondering which M Monochrom? The original or the new 246 version.

I am using the traditional, original Leica M Monochrom. A joy to use ...

Allen Bourgeois · « **Reply #588 on:** July 08, 2016, 02:10:31 pm »

Yes I agree. I have no desire to get the 246.

As ever beautiful tones.

The first shot rewards close scrutiny. I love the way the sole of the shoe is sort of mirrored in the way the athletes are arranged and also how the dark shape behind them mirrors to sole of the shoe's pattern. Very well seen. The various diagonals work so well.

Then I wonder is this an official photograph, or perhaps a group of friends? It lets me speculate but limits it at the same time. I'd be very pleased to capture this and it seems so well executed. Of course you'll now tell me your hand slipped and it was a complete accident

Allen, just let me borrow your Monochrom for a month (or so) and I'll be happy to contribute. I'll even use my own lenses!

Well Allen Bourgeois did ask for more people to post here - so I will respond - though very different subject matter !

Backstory - having sold my MM some time ago and regretted it almost from the day that I did that fell deed I have just re-bought one.

It only arrived two days ago and I am re-learning with my aging eyes how to get back on good terms with it.

Given that, I really would appreciate the max input on these first attempts - two in the house and then from a drive along the backroads here - in much too bright sun - RAW, no sharpening other than any inbuilt in LR, some light adjustments.

...... and four more from our backroads :
