My plan this morning was to shoot with my dad’s Leica 21mm Super Angulon. The problem is that the rear element is so close to the sensor it fringes the outside edges purple and does not expose correctly. I use this lens on the M-P 240 in monochrome and with the EVF2 which does a […]Read Post ›
This mornings shadows were beautiful! I was out and about with the Leica MP 240 and the Leica 50 mm Summilux. A couple of days ago I saw a possible image but was not able to make a shot of it. This morning, knowing that the same opportunity would be there I brought the camera […]Read Post ›
Well it’s been about a month since I have been back here to give my thoughts. Today I watched an Ansel Adams documentary made in 2002 which I have seen once before. Every time I see it I am brought back to my formative years as a photographer seeing and learning from his inspiring work […]Read Post ›
This morning on my walk about town I wanted to use the lens I don’t use much but really love. That would be the Leica 50mm f1.4 Summilux. I love the look shooting wide open and put the 3 stop ND filter on to enable me to shoot that way. This bench overlooking Main St. […]Read Post ›
This morning a magazine article got me out and about with the Leica M-P 240. I have used my Dad’s old 28mm Elmarit for street photography in the past. This morning I felt like using my my Dad’s old 21mm Super Angulon. Both of these lenses are from the mid to late sixties and have […]Read Post ›
When I arrived in Bandon Oregon, from a very long ride down Route 101 in the fog, I did not expect much, since I could not see it. The fog was thick and I could not see the beach from the overlook on Coquille Pt. But my wife and I decided to trek down the […]Read Post ›
The hard working lobstermen from Rockport have some very interesting structures that house just about everything you can imagine. But mostly it’s what they use everyday to ply their trade. I have been intrigued by these buildings since I was a child growing up next to the water. Basically they are sheds. Some are more […]Read Post ›
Outside my front door lies a big old mushroom. It is pretty cool looking in color but I wanted it to be something special so converting to B&W was a no brainer. In black and white it took on a whole new level of tone and texture which as you know are my two most […]Read Post ›
Going back to film is easy, right! Well I found my long lost technique needs some work. So let me pose a question. How many of you check your depth of field on the rear screen after making a shot? I for one do – all the time. It’s part of my digital technique that […]Read Post ›
Ok so I have drifted backward! I’m slowly getting over it. But dam was it easy to do after being away from it for so long. The color world is slowly but most assuredly coming apart. Give folks an inch and they will take a mile! Lightroom, Photoshop, Photomatix etc. have enabled people to go […]Read Post ›
