Never knew you could be so torchy, Kirk. Meanwhile, I’m assuming the SL was handheld for this shot. Am I right? How did it handle with that Leica 24-90 zoom? I ask because I am about to take out my SL next week with a Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 mounted on it.
Hi Biro, the combo (24-90+SL) is a bit hefty but it's really well balanced and the lens is really as good as a bag full of expensive primes. Love the color as well. Just mostly advise shooting raw if you want the very best color and noise reduction.

I've been comparing my Panasonic S5xII B&W shots to the Leica Mono I have been playing with and I gotta tell you I prefer the Panny. For sheer fun the Leica is better. Getting both colour and B&W from the Panny is a plus though. It's been fun using my Leica primes again though on the Mono.

Looks like you were having fun! And when you are having fun magic happens photographically. Which this series proves.

Are your images safe? Well maybe not according to Adobe new t.o.s.
Apparently, they are now rewiewing cloud base image and any image relying on clud base processi g wether those image reside on your own computer or not.

Tony Nortrup has a youbube video on this:

Thanks for sharing. Not sure how far I go in believing Tony. He's not always right....

Kirk,
It's what Adobe says that's important. Whatever consent we gave Adobe under "Account and security" --- "Data and privacy settings", Adobe has left a few doors opened for itself. My take is if an image does not meet their guidelines or is deemed not to then Adobe will intervene even if the image resides in our computer. I stand to be corrected and I wish am wrong about this...
Cheers,
André Moreau
