NEW YORK NEW YORK – A contrast today: shooting off hand on Third Avenue vs four years ago, super composed on a tripod with a technical camera. You can see why I abandoned the technical camera idea as sterile.

WARREN CONNECTUCUT – I spent a good part of the day here shooting with my Leica Q. It’s a lovely little camera with a 24x36mm sensor and a fixed Leica 28mm f1.7 lens. This is probably Leica’s best 28mm, which provides the rationale for using this camera. The camera is compact and very, very fast. I’ve been experimenting with it using HDR technology – taking three frames and combining them to achieve extended dynamic range – then of course translating into black and white.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – I experimented today with focus stacking, a technique that involves taking multiple images with various focus points and combining them with specialized software.

From time to time I use it in landscape (urban and otherwise), pushing the tool for other than its intended use. Today it successfully produced a street art background and a Sycamore foreground, both nicely in focus. Handheld with my Leica Monochrom and Luxocrhon lens.
