Here's an uncropped variant:
http://www.web-options.com/L1030012.jpg

It is Bomber Harris. The chap in bronze, that is. Not the chap in the mac.

I haven't had any real-world problems with the M8 yet, apart from a tiny piece
of dust on the sensor. I've never had to clean a sensor before, but this should
blow off quite nicely. I did manage to get 2 of the infamous M8 problems in one
frame a few evenings ago while I was playing with it. I took a photo in my
hallway with a light just in the top of the frame and this yielded the green
streak problem; in the same frame was a deep black cotton jacket which came out
magenta.

Sounds like a damned useful device. Get on to the patent office, quick.

Oops!

I meant to say that I really liked this one (in addition to the
rainy-day umbrella shot):

Sorry about that.  Clearly shoddy cut and pasting on my part.

Thanks. As you probably realise it's just outside St. Clement Danes, the RAF

pass that church. 


My father was also in the RAF, but for nowhere near that long. He 
received his discharge *two days* before they canceled all further 
discharges because of the Korean war.

Thanks. As you probably realise it's just outside St. Clement Danes, the RAF
church. My father was in the RAF for 48 years, so I always think of him when I
pass that church. Today there was a service of some sort and the bells of St.
Clement's were ringing very beautifully, although not Oranges and Lemons. There
were some really excellent bellringers at work and I think this chap was
listening to them.

Dunno mate. I went equipped with one body and 4 lenses. When I use the Oly I go
with one body and one lens - but it's a zoom!

I am enjoying having to think about what I'm doing though.

I feel greatly relieved to have got rid of all the Contax/Zeiss stuff, as good
as it was. I now have 2 film Leicas and the digital Leica, a couple of Oly DSLRs
and an MX+2/3 lenses. I'm going to sell my Leica M4-2 to fund a VC 28/2 Ultron
and some other Leica-related bits, so I will have just the M3 and the MX for
film, and I will probably get an E-3 when I can afford it.

The MX is my entry ticket to the PDML...

Bob:  These two are stunning, and of the two I like umbrellas best. 
Coldish & dampish in Ole Chicago as well, and I'm home with a really bad 
cold, but I guess it's better than being home with a really bad lover.

I don't usually care much for photos that rely on signs and writing to make
their point - with the obvious exception of Ann's witty and often subtle 
signs -
and I usually avoid taking such pictures. But sometimes a man's gotta do 
what a

man's gotta do:

There's also a picture that's embarrassingly like the sort of shit that 
Jack

Vettriano paints.

It's been a wet old day in Olde Londone Towne.

Thanks Walt. No posing involved - that's how I found it.

Incidentally, the picture of the flowers has a bit of camera shake, but it was
hand-held at 1/3rd of a second!
