On the first evening of the Matlock Camera Club's 2018-2019 season I gave a presentation "The Italian Job", a series of images taken on our journey by train the length of Italy. My reason for putting the presentation together was to illustrate that holiday pictures don't just have to be record shots but might strive to be something better. They don't just have to be pictures of ones wife, husband, friend or lover posing in front of a famous fountain or building but might become competition entries or even better, sell. The captions accompanying the pictures record more or less what I said on the night.
All the images were taken with a Leica M9P rangefinder camera and a 35 mm f2 non-aspheric Summicron lens, were processed from RAW using Capture One and top and tailed with Adobe Photoshop CC.
To view the pictures, please click on the first thumb sized image which will reveal a larger one and the text relating to it. You can now progress through all the pictures, clicking anywhere on a picture gives an even larger one and no text. Clicking again returns you to the text version.
