Tim, I always amazed at your portrait work. You work with you M8 and ZM 50 Planar, and produce great results. In the essence of simplifying and keeping it simple.
There is another photographer in the scene... up the slope about a car-length to the right of the third engine; dark clothing, light hat... getting a closer view of the train. I raced ahead of the train, skidded to a halt, jumped over the guard rail and waited less than a minute for the train to look "right".

Thanks! Graceful curves, and lucky having the right lens.
Detail of entrance to St John's College, Cambridge, England... a very dull day, not good for 'building photos' but I had spent a gallon of expensive petrol to get there so took some shots on outdated 1996 Ilford FP4,home-processed in Acutol-S Formula 1+1 for 14 mins.
a street in Cambridge on the way to King's College -- cars are banned now-- you have to go 'Park and Ride' from outside the City. I used outdated 1996 Ilfor FP4 film, rated 80ASA, home-processsed in Acutol-S Formula 1+1 for 14 mins.
Exterior of King's College, Cambridge on a very dull day. I used outdated 1996 Ilford FP4 film home-processed in Acutol-S Formula 1+1 for 14 mins. They charge £5-00 Adults and £3-95 kids and pensioners to go in now !
A very dull day in Cambridge, England -- unlucky with the light (as usual!) -- this is the River cam with the 'Mathematical Bridge',taken at full aperture on my 50mm CFi Distagon lens, outdated 1996 Ilford FP4 film home-processed in Acutol-S Fromula 1+1 for 14 mins.
The Queen Elizabeth II Bridge over the River Thames at Dartford. It cost Millions of Pounds and they have got their money back already BUT they keep putting UP the Toll Fee -- now it is £1-50 for each car !
The London Eye taken from a moving tour boat on the River Thames, London. I used the 50mm f4 CFi Distagon at a wide aperture to get a faster shutter speed, on outdated Agfa Ultra 50 film I processed myself in C41.

'Cleopatra's Needle' on the London Embankment was a present from Egypt in Queen Victoria's time -- now nobody likes the British any more and the only presents we get are bombs ! I used 1996 outdated Ilford FP4 film in the 12-on back and held a Yellow-Green filter over the lens. I downrated the film to 80 ASA and processed in Acutol-S Formula 1+1 i made up myslef from the chemicals.

I bought the G Sonnar 90/2.8 lens and was waiting to buy a camera to mount it!! I finally settled on the GF1 and had to wait for 2 long months for my visit to Boston. This was one of the first shots captured on a muggy evening in Doha of my daughter. The temperature was a sweltering 40C at 5PM!! That is summer in the Qatar.
The 2x crop factor makes this lens a telephoto. The quality is simply out of the world. I then found a Planar 45/2 online and promptly bought it. It is now always on my GF1.
