This image entitled "Shadow of Man, Malmesbury Abbey, Wiltshire" was taken in the entrance porch of that famous English abbey with a Leica M4/P rangefinder film camera fitted with a 2,1cm Schneider Super-Angulon wide-angle lens. By using this near-silent camera, and from my viewpoint only ten or so feet away on the opposite stone seat, the subject didn't hear me rapidly taking his candid photograph whilst the absorbing scene changing every few seconds as he looked through his personal belongings, so altering the long, animated shadow cast on the stone wall by the early morning Winter sun.
