I opted tonight to get off one station early and walk home. Although I knew there was heavy downpours throughout the day at the Stampede I never got wet but I didn't expect to see this on the way home..
M Monochrom Lux 50
First show of the day
M Monochrom Lux 50
Shooting upwards into the rafters.
M246 + 90APO (I have cropped both)
A little horse cutter action
M246 Voitlander 125 APO
Why I shoot Leica (well, it's not the only reason, but it's a good one.) Unchanged JPEG version of the DNG file is first, then the post-processed version:
Although I have not posted any images recently, I have been reading the Forum and there are so many excellent images.
Earlier this summer, I purchased a Monochrom (original version). Today, I took it out, for the first time, to the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. All image are taken with Summilux-M 50 ASPH.
Goofing around setting up something with off camera flash, M9
Local University with HP5+, 35 Summilux II
Big ship with Portra 160, looks like 50mm (maybe)
Nothing kind of shot "just b/c 75 Summilux", M9
Have 20 rolls+ of film stuff sitting in Lightroom but I've been preoccupied setting up a darkroom space to try printing it (my photography is better than my carpentry!) and honestly too darn lazy to metadata-ize it and push it onto the web.
Great to see so much variety and lots of b+w from everyone. Happy Bastille Day!
I hear they charged only $5 last night from 5-7PM. I've been spending the bulk of my time in the Agrium Centre and between events events wondering the grounds though the last two days have moved onto fast action and video shooting so the Leica has stayed home.
I must have found the lucky horseshoe as with all the rain I have yet to get wet and have walked 15 minutes to catch the train heading to the grounds and back home everyday except one when the bus just happened to arrive when the rains started. Though I think today will be a bus day since showers for most of the day. Unless there is a short break then I'll walk. Last night the same street from the flooded picture a few days ago was still flooded last night.

Gary nice shots, but where's the crowds and rain?

Yeah, it's been a crazy amount of rain this week. Something that us Calgarians are not used to... I took these shots the day before the midway opened. I was surprised the security guard let me in (with a bit of smooth talking). Do you work down there during Stampede? I will be walking around the grounds later tonight taking pics - probably in the rain.
