Now in these sort of situations an M7 would be good

Pretty dynamic stuff - although the last 4-6 frames aren't as strong as some of the middle frames - and the first 3 are too similar and need an edit down to the best one.

Tones feel a little blown to me - too many washed-out faces and white shirts in some shots - but that may just be OFOTOs reproduction?

They certainly capture the psychotic frenzy of the times we live in (no political commentary one way or the other on these particular folks or your pictures intended.) Good documentary journalism!

Oh yeah it's not edited yet, I 've got another demo to do on saturday. Ofoto I use just for nailing stuff up prior to editing, the repro's not the best but you get the Idea..

Very nice, Brian.

I'm also interested in your experience with Ofoto. Did you use a digital camera for these photos? Have you used Ofoto to develop film? Anything else you can tell us about Ofoto?

Thanks.

Brian, Good work. IMO any Leica M would be av ery good candidate here. If I had to shoot a rally like that I would choose my M6TTL (that's the only Leica I have) over Eos 3 or F5 because: 1. Leica does not look like a real camera and people mostly ignore it 2. I learned to use it fast enough and therefore I do not need AF or AE for most situations 3. I am hooked on Leica and its simplicity so again it would me my first choice. Hope this answers your question at least a little but again, as of last four months am hooked on Leica so check other opinions too. Thanks,Igor
