I know this is the official For-God's-Sake-Stop-Talking-About-Cameras (And-Post-Photographs-Instead) thread - but taking a picture of someone with their camera while they're talking about cameras - is okay .... isn't it?

The interesting thing is that, though this image almost appears to be a sepia-toned monochrome, it's not - it's color. From a RAW digital negative which I did remarkably little processing to. The EOS-M I took it with is a quirky beast, but its tiny 22mm pancake lens may be an underrated gem.

But this photo - taken with the same camera/sensor/lens combination - was processed for monochrome. Taken on the main street/highway of the small Oregon town where I live -
