"Foggy lake in Alabama"

"Foggy lake in Alabama" © R.M. Woodall For the contest "All things Water" ,.. #allthingswater   I had to go looking from when I posted this photo a couple of months ago, so that I could have it on my computer instead of my mother's, which is where a lot of my photos were uploaded to, and so was barely able to get one in before the contest ends on the 31st. :-) There was another foggy day here, just a few days ago, but I was unable to get out that day. But, I hope to again when I'm able to.

As requested, by Matthew Woodall, this is the setup I used to take the photo just published here.

As requested, by Matthew Woodall, this is the setup I used to take the photo just published here. It's the Leica M8, Komura 2X extender and the 135 mm lens. The viewfinder sits in the hotshoe. Note the "goggles" of the lens are tilted rotationally. This allows focusing, with the extender mounted.

So, what's special about this photo?

So, what's special about this photo? It is a 360 mm telephoto shot, on a Leica M camera. It was shot without Visoflex, or any reflex viewing device! So, how does that work? Well, use a Leica M8 camera. Use a 135 mm telephoto lens on it. And between them, place a Komura Telemore 95, 2X telephoto extender. (135 {lens} X 1.333 {crop factor} X 2 {extender} = 360 {effective 35 mm film focal length} It comes with a zoom style viewfinder, with settings for common focal lengths, and in-between is possible. This device dates back to the mid '70s IIRC. Komura made optics as a third party along with many others, in that era. This however, is the only commercial Leica M mount tele-extender I am aware of though. It is a collector's item now.

Hey guys

Hey guys, It looks to me that G+ photo editor has changed again... Lots of tools have disappeared. Do you experience the same issue?
