Hi Steve,
I’m Mark Probst, an amateur photographer living in Vienna, Austria.
After shooting DSLRs for several years I’ve switched to shooting with
a Leica M6 for the past few months, mainly to find out what it’s like
to use a rangefinder. It turns out that I like it so much that I’m
plotting to buy an M9, since film is too bothersome for me to put up
with in the long term.
I am also a juggler and as such I hang out with and photograph other
jugglers, most of them much more able than me when it comes to
throwing and catching objects. I took these three images recently at
a small private juggling festival with a few friends. The first two
images were shot on TMax 3200, the third one, with the huge club
passing pattern, on TMax 400 pushed to 800. I exclusively use a
Voigtlaender 35mm/1.4 and do my own development. Mild post-processing
in Lightroom.

Take care!
Mark
Great catches and great b&w work!
#1 nice action in the background, #2 best and most interesting. I went from M8 to M6 for the zen of shooting film and for the pleasure of working independent of the latest tech. I keep my M8 for color shots and those must-share family holiday shots…
Hi Mark, done the same myself, M6 and CV 35 1.4. Nice combo, I find. Love pic 1, just great, what a Leica is good for and very unobtrusive.
#2 is great, got to stick with film though! 🙂
Love #2 best. Thanks for sharing.
Good to see that old fashioned entertainment can win the day…
Love #2, all great photos
Really liked the second pic, keep it up.
