And another week is over! As I mentooned already yesterday, I deviated a bit from my original plan to use only one camera-lens-combo each week, as I found out that the E-P1 isn’t much fun during these days with very strong sunlight. So I switched back to the M8, which I enjoy using much more.

Today’s PAD-picture was taken at Emil’s step-great-grandmother’s (does that term even exist?) place, whom we visited this afternoon after luriking into rehearsals of my old drama group from back when I still lived in the Frankfurt area. Nik Silver Efex with Ilford Pan F 50 b&w preset.

PAD #35 | "Cat, looking out the window" | Leica M8 + Biogon 28/2.8 @ f/2.8, 1/500 sec, ISO 160

Recently, I’ve been experimenting with completely manual operation on the M8. I.e. I will meter once for a given lighting situation, and compensate shutter speed / ISO / aperture depending on how light levels change. It worked well yesterday at the fair, and it worked quite well indoors today. Much less over- or underexposed shots than before

Prospect for the next PAD-week: I won’t constrain myself to one camera+lens-combo, but just take that camera and lens with me which I’d like to shoot that day. Which will probably be the M8 and 50 Planar most of the time … 😉
