The wall and shadow made this scene interesting but it would have been nothing without the lady who appeared (not posed!) and sat on the wall.
Leica 111 and f3.5 A36 type Summaron

Welcome to the Paul Blanchard Vintage Leica Postal Portfolio 06 Blog

Recording traditional Black & White photography created using mostly vintage Leica cameras by Paul Blanchard, Wiltshire UK., within the Grouping of Circle 6 of the Leica Society. Just a touch of Colour may creep in.

All of the monochrome photographs shown on this blog are from film and printed with a Leica Valoy 11 or Focomat 1c enlargers using Leica Focotar 2 lenses unless otherwise stated. In most cases originals were circulated in the Circle. I am introducing Ilford MG DeLuxe (5) paper at present. The films are often T-Max 400 on the first shots later changing to some Rollei RPX 25.where possible. Development of T-Max is in D 76 Dil. 1:1 for 10 mins. All RPX 25 is processed in FX-39. If diluted, 1:9, then time is 7.5 min. All at 20 degrees C. Colour, if any, is normally printed by The Darkroom Cheltenham.

From time to time other interesting enlargers appear but most use is made of Leica products.

Founded as Circle 6 of Leica Postal Portfolios in 1938, we are now known as The Leica Society, full details can be found on the website: http://www.theleicasociety.org.uk/-Have a look!
