Sometimes, sometimes: I am rewarded with glow.

And I don't even OWN a Leica. 😕

Some truely amazing images here. These images are what it's all about.

Heh.. hahaha! Leica glow. Yeah! Flare, flare, aberrations, incorrect exposure, and more flare!

I love these talks of glow 🙂

Taken last month with a Fed 5 and rigid Industar 50. This "glow" is actually flare, pleasant I think here but annoying in other shots.

Whether you call it glow or not, for black and white at least, I think the film and development also play a part. I particularly like HP5 in HC110, a little overexposed and underdeveloped for less contrast (?). I am sure someone can step in with an explanation as to the chemistry.

This is an available light shot with a Summicron 50. The room was dark but the sun was streaming in through the open window. The contrast in the scene exceeded the lattitude of the film (chromogenic B/W), so the deepest shadows were blocked and the sunny window was blown slightly. Still, the effect is not unpleasant.

let he who is without sin cast the first stone...

You would not believe how much I've sinned. Actually, you probably would. I haven't sinned that much. I'm pretty average.

I forget where I was going with this..
