Photographing Ice in the Beaches, continued.

 The end results overall with the R6 were stunning, some of it, me, some of it, the 3 Cam Leica R glass. Damn, I can see why it costs so damn much. The R6 as a camera is an interesting one, one would be really cynical and say, "Yeah a Nikon FM does the same thing at a fraction of the price." Yes, to a point but the R6 also has both a sorta matrix metering and spot metering modes, both deliver nicely. The R6 also has a built in diopter for those of us with Gen X eyesight. The one quibble is the little window in back so you can see the film. It became a trend but some reason I had some odd flare on a few frames early on in the roll, granted I had to re-load in the bright sun which is much less than idea. I taped over the window with black duct tape to reduce that variable hopefully to zero in future rolls when reloading in the wild. 

When it gets super cold, and stormy which we had plenty of this past winter, Lake Ontario delivers with some epic ice build up. My brother Alex gave me a heads up on this and coincidentally the Wednesday photo group I'm part had a photo walk planned down there, thankfully it warmed up to freezing. I got some stunning photos, This where the spot meeting on the R6 shines,  I've fallen in love the system, the price for R glass, not so much.
