WARREN CONNECTICUT – I’ve been working a lot recently with my fastest lenses, my Leica 50mm Noctilux (f.95) and my Leica 24mm Summilux (f1.4). I often shoot the 24mm with a .9 neutral density filter which permits it to be used wide open in daylight. The rendering is lovely, turning mundain subjects into magic:
On this day one year ago: Purple Heart.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – I’ve spent the day here having what feels like a speed bag workout with my day job. Not much time or space for photography. At around 8:00 I decided to see what I could do handheld with my Leica Monochrom around the house in near darkness with my 24mm F1.4 Leica Summilux lens.
On this day one year ago: Sunrise and sunset.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – Another day of snowshoeing. Lovely light but the snow is less pristine and I find myself repeating yesterday. It would be nice to take a break but that’s not really an option in the photo-a-day world. Here’s something from my Leica S and 120 mm Summarit lens.
Leica Monochrom and 24mm Summilux lens:
On this day last year: St. Valentine’s Dau run up.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – Well the blizzard really did arrive: two feet of snow and major winds. Remarkably we haven’t suffered any damage or power outage. By the afternoon it cleared (but still high winds) so Maria and I took the opportunity to snow shoe. All images taken with my Leica S medium format camera and a 35mm lens.
On this day last year: Lexington Avenue
WARREN CONNECTICUT – Bird feeder. Taken with my Leica Monochrom and 1930s era Carl Zeiss Jena 5cm f1.5 Sonnar lens. Note the scratchy quality of the out of focus portions of the image.
On this day one year ago: Radio City at night.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – More moody. This is one of my favorites of the year so for. I was driving along a local road; spotted the image; stopped and shot it with what was at hand (my Leica Monochrom and 21mm Super Elmar lens). Perspective was corrected in Lightroom.
On this day last year: Friday the 13th.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – Another foggy day. This seems to be going on forever. Here I am talking about the weather, but remember that my photographic interests tend towards landscape and the weather really does play an important role out here. At least in Connecticut I can do moody, which is greatly in evidence. Here are two images with my new Leica S – the first with my 35mm Summarit lens and the second three frames stitched with my 120mm Maco lens. The files are big. My aging Apple desktop tower is straining under the load.
On this day one year ago: Colorized infra red.
