Hi all,

I see myself cheating again for this PAW -- this was taken the same week as
PAWs 3 & 4. Never mind...

Anyway, I just tried to put a different kind of subject. Instead of the GF1,
this time is the Leica M8, CV Ultron 35 f1.7 -- wide open, 1/6s handheld.
Far from sharp or clean, but I sort of like it...

Main: <http://www.flickr.com/photos/zuiko21/5438543454/>

I'd love some (technical) feedback on this -- I'm getting crazy with the
colour spaces thing. I deliberately left it a bit dark, because I tried to
focus (pun intended) on the highligts. Tweaked a bit with it on ACR, not
sure if I went too far with noise reduction.

I'd like to show a couple of runner-ups, too:

Alt-1: <http://www.flickr.com/photos/zuiko21/5437955511/sizes/l/> "Where's
the bird?"

Same gear as above, I tried to photograph a bird over these violets, but by
the time I took the M8 to my eye, no sign of the bird was left...

This, BTW, seems to be the kind of violet easily reproduced by digital
sensors: Google Street View of this place shows a similar colour on my
screen <

Another runner-up, the originally selected for the PAW:

Alt-2: <http://www.flickr.com/photos/zuiko21/5411911696> "Wormy to the bone
:-)"

GF1 + 20/1.7 here. One of my students left this apple at the school on
Friday noon... and Monday morning was still on his desk! Tuesday morning I
took this picture of it, minutes before it was eventually trashed.

I have some things ready for the PAWs -- just made a (small) C41 processing
run last night, the negs are still hanging, but they seem to have some
interesting pics... so the next (two) PAW(s) might be on film!

Cheers,
