Elegant, in a low-tech sort of way.  Beautiful rendering as always.

Godfrey,

Thanks for the info.  Due to numerous family commitments, I've been
following the PDML on a shoewhat sporadic basis.  I'm actually very ok with
a little (or even more than a little) sensor noise in many cases.  Crunchy
grain adds a certain immediacy to some images, and a certain texture I like
to others.  It all comes down to what kind of look it has.

Also (I think I already mentioned this when we met at the NorCal meet in
Sacramento), I'm really kicking myself for not buying an L1 with that
awesome Leica lens when I had the chance.  I saw a price from Amazon that
was something like $799

That's enjoyable. I like the texture, tones and lovely shadows, and the
almost Jules Verne / Terry Gilliam industriality of them.

That's a good one---right up my alley in style and feel.  For  
pictures like
this, I've found that the way the camera produces grain-like noise  
makes a
difference in the quality of the picture.  How do you like the way  
the G1

behaves in this respect?


You probably saw my correction after posting this ... this particular  
photo was made with the L1 rather than the G1.


Both the L1 and G1 produce very nice imaging qualities when pushed to  
high ISO settings, imo.


For instance,
http://homepage.mac.com/godders/026-distracted.jpg
was made at ISO 1000 and necessarily underexposed to keep the window  
from blowing into saturation. And

http://homepage.mac.com/godders/051-tapped.jpg
was made at ISO 800 in rather odd, very heavily red-yellow arc light,  
and produced rather nice characteristics.


For color,
http://homepage.mac.com/godders/lk-1020212.jpg was made at ISO 1600 @  
f/1.4 @ 1/5 second ... truly dim circumstances ... and I thought the  
G1 did remarkably well on noise and texture for that high a

For Pete's sake, Godders.  How do you keep coming up with beautiful
images of objects that most of us wouldn't even consider photographing,
even if we happened to notice them in the first place?

The tonal distribution in that image is wonderful - and they're just old
batteries

Well, no one does better mono renderings than you. That is truely a gorgeous 
B&W.
I'm  a little disturbed by the lack of squareness, it looks like a large 
format image where you forgot to shift the lens to keep things lined up.

But that is a fairly minor nit pick.
