NEW YORK NEW YORK – Not a lot going on today because I’m housebound on some work projects. So . . . I put a macro adapter between my Luxochron and Monochrom and spent an hour getting close to things. It’s impossible to fail with this combination because the out-of focus character of this lens (actually a 50 mm Summicron Asp – it’s just called a Luxochron by me) is so remarkably creamy. This is the case both in front of and behind the focus plane, which is unusual.
Day 2127 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year (day 1762): Mallorca.
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. It’s most often used in macro photography to overcome the inherent thin depth of focus at close distances. 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.
Day 2126 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
