My Eyes

Todays Scavenger Hunt photo was eyes or feet. I used this as a good excuse to get a photo of my favorite camera, my "Classic" Leica M6. I have my Voigtlander 12mm Ultra Wide Heliar with finder on it for the photo. The 12mm lens is a fun lens which when used correctly can yield some very dramatic effects.

Here you can seem me holding my camera slightly "off" on the vertical...for some reason I always seem to do this. I have grid screens in my EOS1 Bodies to help with this problem. Guess I am just a little crooked. LOL

Brilliant lighting.

Nice gear, nice shot. As to needing a grid, I have the same problem. I think my internal level is miscalibrated.

This is good! Very, very good! The clarity of this shot rocks and love how the viewfinder is your other eye!

Wonderfully sharp eye capture, and great rendering of eye colour. Interesting work.
