Peek a boo …

Leica M6, Voigtlander 35 Color Skopar f/2.5, LegacyPro 400

f/4 @ 1/60, probably +1 exp.

Ava Rae playing peek-a-boo in the living room circus tent.  On a side note, this would be a tough shot with a SLR/DSLR.  The low light and low contrast don’t give the autofocus much to lock onto.  By the time you force the AF to lock where you want it, the moment is gone.  At 1/60 or less, there’s no time for fiddling with the camera.  With a rangefinder you can use the superior low light manual focus, prefocus on a spot -I used the port hole edge – and shoot when the moment’s right.
