NEW YORK NEW YORK – I strapped my Leica 50mm f.95 Noctilux onto my Leica Monochrom camera today and went out to the Conservatory Garden in Central Park. The concept was to shoot it wide open with an neutral density filter, using live view to focus, rather than the rangefinder which isn’t that reliable at f.95. From a focus standpoint the results were fine, but I’m finding that I don’t really care for the swirly bokeh – the look of the out of focus portions of the image – that characterizes this lens. Judge for yourself.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – I met a friend of long standing at the Yale Club, which put me in the vicinity of Grand Central Terminal, one of my favorite New York icons.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Really nice light on the North wall of PJ Clarke’s. I shot this with my Sony A7Rii and translated to black and white. In the translation I was able to adjust gray values to bring out old lettering on the wall that I hadn’t actually seen while snapping the image – in this one respect translating from color is superior to the native black and white that I get from my Leica Monochrom.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – A single iPhone image today – I’m distracted by other things going on in my life.

Day 2,807 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.

By the way I haven’t forgotten about June 21. The image for June 21 is on a computer that I don’t have access to today or for the next week. I’ll post June 21 once I have access to the image.
