ANTIGUA – Today I worked with my Leica Monochrom and Leica 50mm Summicron Asp. lens (which I call the “Luxochron”), shooting wide open with a .9 ND filter (three stops). The out-of-focus rendering of this lens is amazingly appealing (to my eyes) for such a highly corrected lens. The close up of the water lily flower was taken with my iPhone 7, which gives good service as a close up camera.

ANTIGUA – We watched the start of the annual RORC Caribbean 600 race from a friend’s house. Amazingly the fastest boats, high tech multihulls, cover 600 miles in under 24 hours. The sails are black because they are made of Kevlar. Also images at the beach. I’m shooting my Leica Monchrom and 50mm Summicron Asp. with a neutral density filter so I can shoot wide open.

ANTIGUA – This is a tropical paradise.  Really.  No irony today.  I’ll be spending the next few days getting close.  I’m shooting with a neutral density filter so I can run my Leica Summicron Asp. lens wide open to take advantage if its lovely rendering.

NEW YORK NEW YORK and ANTIGUA – A travel day – not usually my best. I caught good light in our apartment before we left, and some sea grapes and a tree at dusk in Antigua. The tropics are a major challenge for me: how many ways can you photograph a palm tree. The solution clearly is to get out into the community which we’ll try to get a start at this trip. Shooting with my Leica Monochrom and 50mm Summicron Asp lens.
