Easter activities

It's Easter. Its the best weather the UK has seen for April since the 1940's.  So out and about with as many activities as we can fit into the weekend!! All the shots with Leica M9 and Voigtlander 75mm,f2.5.

It kicks off with a egg hunt and the loote is displayed

Sunday's activities!

Just a few Sunday shots - out and about and at home! Lovely sunny spring day!!!! Leica M9 easy camera to have by your side, just in case you want to snap something.

To the beach - Leica M9 with borrowed Leica 35mm, f2.5 summarit-M

Out to beach on a lovely April spring day in the UK.  I borrowed a Leica 35mm, f2.5 Summarit-M to see what it is like.  It is one of the less expensive 35 mm form leica.  It is small so on the M9 body it is a very compact combination.  I found it very sharp even at f2.5 (all the photos were shot wide open).  I would deffinately say value for money!!!



Depth of field good 




End of the castle



Blue - moon - plain - cloud

The throw!



If you missed it in the previous picture - this is the rock.  As I said very sharp little lens!!

Sunny 22C spring day - UK



Welcome my Beauty!

All photos are straight out of the Leica M9 taken with Voigtlander 75mm, f2.5.  I was a little apprehensive using the more portrait orientated lens in low light conditions, but I am so pleased with the feel and depth of field. 

A short wait

Almost there!



The two beauties meet
