Hi David, a sincere thank you for sharing your images of Dr Ted's TV appearance. Quite wonderful. Further - mega kudos for having a 1/5th of a second shot look soooo very nice from in the 'green room'. It's plenty sharp enough to capture the scene and communicate it comfortably and pleasingly to a viewer. I sometimes think the challenges and efforts needed to generate the 20x30 prints many leica lenses have in 'Potentia', makes a photographer become a little disconnected from the realites of 'sharp enough' really being enough, sometimes. :-) Query: What did you shoot it with? Was it a M8/9? I ask because I've heard ancedotally that rangefinders with their lack of a mirror 'slap' give a higher chance of 'sharp enough' shots at slower shutter speeds versus an SLR.

As many of you know, by now, Rose and I have had the pleasure of hosting our own Dr. Ted and his wife, Irene, while he gave interviews and a talk, at Thompson River's University. Ted & Irene are old friends... and it's a delight to have them in Logan Lake, once again. Last Friday, Ted appeared on the Midday show, on our local TV station. Before his spot, we waited in the "Green Room", which was anything, but green. It was also anything but bright... though I thought this next, hand held shot not too bad, for a 1/5th second exposure. Here's Ted in conversation with Valerie, one of the driving forces behind KPAC - the Kamloops Photo Arts Club, who sponsored Ted's visit. http://www.furnfeather.net/Temps/Valerie.html Then, he was fitted with a lapel mic by Diane. http://www.furnfeather.net/Temps/Wired.html On air, Ted seemed very serious... http://www.furnfeather.net/Temps/Serious.html Archives are at: //www.freelists.org/archives/leicareflex/ ------ Unsubscribe or change to/from Digest Mode at: http://www.lrflex.furnfeather.net/ Archives are at: //www.freelists.org/archives/leicareflex/
