This image was taken with my Leica M9. The lighting conditions seemed poor at first glance. The sky was overcast, and light was beginning to fade in the western sky. However, this kind of light actually can be superior to direct sunlight. Colors are more saturated in partial or open shade than in direct sunlight. The Leica cameras are wonderful to work with. They are very light, compact, and usually one only requires one lens for most shots. I did not have my camera back pack with me at this location. Just the camera hanging from my neck. Since the Leica is a range finder camera, there is no mirror to flap up prior to taking the shot. One just squeezes the shutter, hand held. My favorite lens to use with the Leica is a 35 mm Zeiss. The Zeiss lens is relatively inexpensive compared to the Leica 35 mm lenses, yet the quality of images that result from the Zeiss lenses are excellent.
