WARREN CONNECTICUT – Another day of showshoeing – this time in a different direction. We revisited the junk truck that I’ve posted on this site previously, and later did some work comparing lenses shooting our house from a tripod. Both images taken with my Leica MM and 35mm Summicron lens, which I subsequently sold. I purchased a copy of the current Leica 35mm Suumicron to test side by side with my Leica 35mm Summilux Asph lens. After a couple of weeks of shooting both i decided that I like the rendering of the Summilux better so I sold the Summicron. Buying and selling good used Leica lenses involves very little cost because the market is so robust.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – At last, a lovely crisp winter day with relatively new snowfall (actually nicely windblown for my purposes). In the late afternoon we took our Leica Monochrom and a vintage 1950s era Dual Range Summicron lens out snowshoeing with Maria. The main point of snowshoes in Connecticut (at least this year) is not deep snow but ice – they have crampons built into them which permit you to crunch across ice fields with confidence. We went out our door and over a neighbor’s farmland. The first image is two frames stitched.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – I did some work today with my Leica Monochrom and my 1945 vintage Carl Zeiss Jena 5cm. f1.5 Sonnar lens. The results on this sunny snow-covered day were pleasing enough to me to warrant an mini-gallery so here you go:

WARREN CONNECTICUT – Finally, some cold weather. Actually really bad weather. We had planned on going out to dinner but the roads were terrible so I pulled together dinner out of what was available. This is what it looked like outside, taken with my Leica Monochrom and a Leica 18mm Super Elmar lens. A 16 second exposure on a tripod. Sixteen seconds was too long to be outside – the wind was howling.
