The Photographer....

This gent, had a wonderful collection of Leica Camera's and equipment which he enjoyed showing to me. All vintage items, some attachements for spy work, so that it looks round corners.... the camera's are all in use, and he showed me the prints taken at recent events, the quality was amazing. The lens's were top quality and the motion of the telephoto knocks spots of the action of modern camera equipment. I spent about half an hour of so learning how the different attachments were used to great effect.

Thanks to Phil for the GEA and for all the comments and clicks on my previous image and for the support given on this little series

Linda

A Big thanks to Ian for the UA - I am thrilled

Best of your recent series of portraits for me Linda .... but you seem to be mixing BW and colour? The outer edges of your texture overlay look brown on my screen .... better for me if it was all BW.

thanks Dave and Rog for the inspiration from you guys, I love your work, so thanks for being honest about this one, I thought it just warmed it up a tad, but shows how wrong I was, I will re do this and take off the colour.

Wonderful image, Linda, and I bet his collection was amazing. I've seen various vintage Leica and had a few, and you can't beat them. Awesome glass back as far as c.1925 and has never been bettered. What a great image yo have here!
