Leica Ice on the Charles River (Boston)

[Raid]

I love using my two M4/3 cameras with some SLR lenses. Here, I used the Zeiss Planar 50/1.4 in QMB mount (designed for the Rollei SLR system).

It was cold. I tried shooting through the window glass and also shooting without obstacles by opening the window slightly. My family would then ask me to close the window since it was ice cold.

I can hear the girls screaming that it's COLD-

SO- who goes to Boston in the Winter, leaving Pensacola???? Reverse Snow-Bird...

Fun shots Raid. m43 is so great for travel. If you flew, did you take way too many cloud shots? That's my weakness, especially at dawn or dusk. Every once in a while, one of those actually turns out ...

Very nice shots! It sometimes proves to be a pain to get detailed shots in the city, you did these quiet well. Really like the first one

Hi Carl,

I stopped taking photos from airplanes many years ago. Once, as we were landing in South Korea, I was asked by several flight attendants not to take any photos.

Thanks. I took good care in minimizing the glare in the window glass from lights in the room, and I got some good photos by opening the widows slightly and shooting through the open window.

Great to see that vista, Raid. My last year in college, i had a dormitory room on the fifth floor overlooking the Charles River. I didn't photograph from up there, which I should have. Your shots bring back nice memories.

Thank you Peter. The view from the top can be quite interesting. Boston is a great place to vist, as you know.
