Incidentally, this image was processed in Lightroom 4, because my copy of Aperture 3 crashed and wouldn’t re-start when I was processing images for a client. It’s the first time I’ve used LR4 (the first image I processed with it was this one) and the experience has been positive.
My copy of Aperture is finally back up and running, but Lightroom has earned a permanent place in my post-processing toolbox.

The dramatic halo effect in this image is courtesy of the optical “flaw” known as lens flare — something I’ve harnessed in the past to convey my view of life as a dream.

Currently, my favourite lens, for both digital and film.
I’ve previously criticized it as being too perfect, but after years of both embracing and neglecting it, I’m beginning to realize that it’s just perfectly balanced.

Hi Steve,
Last year, I wrote a short article for your site called: The Leica M9… for sports?
This year, I’m still photographing my kids’ sports activities with an M9, but two weeks ago I decided to take my M3 instead.
I did it for a couple of reasons: Firstly, I just like the look of film. Secondly, I thought it would be fun.
Well, 3 rolls of Tri-X 400 later, I ended up with some keepers. Actually, I ended up with a whole bunch of keepers, and I’m sharing a few here.
Incidentally, if any of your readers are interested in learning about how I process my B&W film, they can read about it here.
Regards,
Peter | Prosophos
