NEW YORK NEW YORK – It’s St. Valentine’s Day. I walked across Central Park to shop for valentines gifts, carrying my Leica Monochrome and a 24mm Leica Summilux lens. I put a .9 neutral density filter on the lens permitting it to shoot in daylight wide open at f1.4, giving very narrow depth of field, but requiring exacting technique. Three examples.

This camera has a lot of headroom in terms of being able to extract relatively noise free detail from the shadows. Of course it has poor ability to recover blown highlights, so it’s important to shoot with an under exposure bias.
