Your Leica photos December 2023

I am sure there must be some Leica users here! I recently bought a Q3 and am exploring its uses as a complement to the Canon R6.

I took these photos just after dark on Friday, mostly in Kärntnerstrasse the main shopping street of Vienna (Austria). I deliberately under-exposed them to preserve the Christmas lights and brought up the shadows later. I was amazed how many tourists there were.

This is the Graben -- Vienna's answer to Bond St. and Fifth Ave. -- and shows the cathedral in the background.

Members of Chabad light this enormous Hannukiah every year. Unfortunately, it was hard to find among all the other lights. It has two lights for the second day of Hannukah.

Now in the Neuer Markt. I resisted the temptation to bring up the shadows to avoid spoiling the effect of the stars by revealing the wires that support them.

Plesae add your photos and comments below!

Happy Holidays!

This is Monty. He turns away when I point the camera in his direction -- unless his attention has been captured by a biscuit, as here...
