KENT CONNECTICUT – We took a hike today in Macedonia State Park outside of this village. I’m shooting very wide, with a 15mm Carl Zeiss lens on my Leica Monochrom. The shots from the early part of the hike are actually with my f.95 Noctilus lens fitted with a neutral density filter which permits shooting in daylight at f.95. In other words a day of shooting with heavy, extreme equipment.
Day 2229 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – Another distracted day. This is the busiest that I’ve ever been in my day job. I took my Sony Alpha 7r ii out to the barn, which for us has turned into a giant storage bin. Then dogs at a party later in the day.
Day 2221 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – It was beautiful here today with soft light taking the edge off of the colorful Fall landscape. I took the opportunity to get close to the landscape, shooting wide with my Leica Monochrom. One technique that I’m exploring is shooting handheld in this relatively poor light at f16 to permit deep depth of field, and compensating with high ISO (2,400), which is very much against the grain for landscape, but works well with the Monochrom.

Late Autumn up closeLate Autumn up close
On this day two years ago (day 1478): Late fall in CT. So . . . two years ago I was shooting very similar subject to those that I am shooting today. Not surprising given the local deciduous landscape.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – A hectic weekend of board meeting preparation. I just barely had time to get my image for the day, which is a sad, neglected-looking little thing. Even my Leica Monochrom needs a little guidance to produce a good image.
Day 2207 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
Vines in late Fall
On this day last year (day 1842): Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego, CA. I was there for a reunion of my Marine Corps Basic School Class.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – I drove up here today on an errand for an estate that I’m the executor for. Absolute peak Fall foliage. Of course I shoot in monochrome . . .
Day 2204 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – I got some good light on the fall foliage, which as usual is reproduced here in black and white because I shoot in black and white – with my Leica Monochrom camera and the wonderful Carl Zeiss 15mm ZM lens.
