NEW YORK NEW YORK – Some barely ok images with my Leica S. I’m hard a work figuring out how to get the best results from this thing, which as I have mentioned before has replaced my Phase One 80 meg digital back and tech camera.
DALLAS TEXAS – Here on business. It snowed last night and is a lot colder than New York, which took me by surprise. This is out the window of the building that we’re meeting in – three frames taken with my iPhone and stitched in Photoshop. We had dinner at Cowboys Stadium – an iPhone images from there.
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.
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.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I’m looking for some of those winter days with lovely brilliant light to give my new Leica S medium format camera a chance to shine. No luck. More freezing rain and fog. So I put it on a tripod and shot out our window, here with a 120mm macro lens.
On this day last year: Staples. January 11 is clearly another undistinguished date on my calendar.
