For a long time, I’ve wanted to photograph the headstock of this guitar, at a certain time of the day when a faint stream of light makes its way through the back window of our house.
I’ve never bothered trying with my M9, because I knew it wouldn’t quite get it.
So yesterday I tried with my newly-acquired M3, as I was testing it for the first time.
To my eyes: it got it.

Test Roll #1, Frames #4 and 5 of 10.
In the first shot I was re-familiarizing myself with the dynamic range, in the second the bokeh. In both I was testing for the focus accuracy of my rangefinder.
1/125 | f/4 for both images.
So far, so good.

I’m living in the 21st century, doing something mean to it
Doing it better then anybody you ever seen do it
Screams from the haters, got a nice ring to it
I guess every superhero need his theme music
No one man should have all that power…

We did have spring for a few days, but winter has returned.
So, here we are… inside again, back in front of our bay window.
Occasionally, a burst of sunlight overcomes the darkness for a while.
Patience, patience.
