Claire in Shadows I

Leica M0 + Summarit 75mm f2.4

I originally took these in colour, as we were photographing the knitwear. But they work a lot better in black and white.

Here in particular, the insane swirl of the overhanding tree branches is a lot more striking when the colour is removed.

The more I use the 75mm Summarit lens, the more I find it is prone to these almost Helios-like effects. I love the painterly look, combined with the precise rendering.
