Chris,
You probably had the same weather last Saturday, gales, rain and sun. The
wind was so bad on the aquaduct that I was 'pinned to a railing at my back
and had the wind been from the other direction I would not have dared to
venture onto it, there being no railing in front of me. I was also worried
about the spray off the canal.
The sun was more or less straight in front of me. I remember thinking at the
time that it would probably flare out and during a subsequent chat on #Leica
IRC where I described the visual puzzle I had shot that day (which
apparently puzzled no one :-)) someone expressed interest in seeing the
result. I told him that I was probably over-hyping the shot because it was
into the sun and lighting would be difficult to handle. What I actually said
to him was....... don't know if I dare say this on an OM list......maybe if
I issue a medication warning :-)............what I actually said
was,,,,,,,,"Zuikos are not Summicrons". Well apparently they are, at least
in the case of the Zuiko 35mm f2 MC. I will now go and hide for a few days
until the 'hit men' give up looking for me :-)
