WARREN CONNECTICUT – Here are three “prints” of the same image taken with my Leica S2 medium format camera. The first version is as it comes from the camera, that is in fairly attractive color. The second is how I saw it when I shot it. Not literally in black and white but with the red leaves standing out as if they were brighter than the rest of the scene. And finally an alternative interpretation reading the read leaves as dark. I prefer the second version.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – Here’s a gallery of Fall color images. It’s Sunday so we’re going back to the city and by the time we’re back here next weekend the leaves will be gone. So with any luck you won’t have to put up with oranges, yellows and reds much longer. Fall is almost over. I promise to get back into my monochromatic groove once the weather turns ugly. All images with my Leica S2 medium format camera and a 70mm or 24mm lens. This thing is irresistible this time of year.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – Look’s like I’m officially giving the Luxochron a rest (remember “Luxochron” is my name for my Leica 50mm Summichron Asph. lens). Slightly wider today with my 35mm Summilux Asph. lens on my Leica M. I’m shooting with a three stop neutral density filter so I can shoot wide open (at f1.4) in daylight, which permits throwing backgrounds way out of focus but demands very accurate focus of the main subject. Here you go:

On this day last year: Early days with the Monochrom. It’s hard to believe that my Leica Monochrom is just a year old. It was a life changer.
