Under the street lamp

A lucky handheld shot at night using my grandfathers Leica from 1932... yielding an unexpected result !

It is not quite framed as I wanted, I wrongly estimated the parallax displacement.

It was a funny scene, there were people with huge high tech DSLRs on tripods, and there we were, fiddling with this tiny 87 year old device and the lightmeter app on my phone, setting the exposure time, focussing through the rangefinder, framing, taking a deep breath both of us - and "click"!

Leitz Camera Standard and Elmar 5cm f3.5 lens
Kodak Portra400, f3.5, exposure probably 1/30.

Dedicated to Neshe and Gaby.
