Here are a couple pictures I've been working on lately that take contre jour lighting with no fill-flash to the extreme. Both are Leica M6 Tri-X 35mm. Daylight photo 35mm pre-ASPH Summicron; Night photo 35mm ASPH Summilux

I COULD SCREAM!!!I hear you. The problem with fill ANYTHING, is that it looks like a fill light. It is impossible to fool mother nature and 'real' photographers.Using a fill light is like using a pinhole camera... take pictures using a pinhole camera and what do you get - photographs that look like they were taken with a pinhole camera. Use a fill light, or reflector, or anything and the photograph will look like you used a fill light, or reflector, or anything!A zoologist, botanist, or biologist will want a fill light because they are interested in only the plant/animal, and not the photography. So let them take their own pictures!IMHO, Jim =========================================================To Unsubscribe: Send email to leica-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field.
