2 Pictures taken with Leica in 68

If the sky wasn't burned in, I'll eat my hat. Look at the water in the
second one. Where it meets the horizon, it's very dark. Moreover, the
darkness is a straight line across the image, while the horizon itself is
crooked. Still, I like this image particularly, just could have been
printed a bit more neatly.

I see what you mean... laid a thick mask on the paper? We can
see a bit of noise there at the edge, and yes, the horizon is not
level whereas the kid in the foreground is vertical...

Cheers,
Alan

'68 was a great year.
Any more info on the pics?

Unfortunately no a family member passed away and left a huge number of
negative and prints in the attic with the leica. I got the year from the
note and I will try and scan the images. There are hundreds from different
countries and etc.. Its a treasure trove of pictures.

Thanks Mike. Those shots just reek of optical quality. Very nice.

I once worked in a University photo department where we had an ancient M2
Leica set up as a dedicated copy camera. This particular Leica had over
two
million frames under its belt, and looked like it had just been taken out
of
the box. It made me a Leica fan.

Thanks I did not take them but I will scan more and put them up if you wish.
