We have not been to the blog since December 1st of last year. Shame on us! It is not that we are not taking photographs, nor stopped in our testing of new equipment. Sometimes our priorities get a little shook up and we need to stop and re-evaluate. Some of you know that I went… Continue reading It has been a long time
Santa’s Enchanted Forrest
One of our favorite night shooting locations for the year and a fine place to use the fast Leica lenses. All images made hand holding, including the Ferris Wheel which was taken at 1/15 sec. Might make one more trip this year and post more images.
Back in the field: Life at 1/15 of a second and more…
So the day finally came when I was able to back to the field after surgery. We picked Key Largo for the outing, on a beautiful fall day, sun shining and enough breeze to make you comfortable outdoors. We travelled via Car Sound to visit Alabama Jack’s hoping to get a shot at something interesting,… Continue reading Back in the field: Life at 1/15 of a second and more…
Phaleanopsis Study
Due to a surgery I had two weeks ago, my field mobility has been somehow impaired temporarily. But the photographer in me is always there and my house orchids proved to be patient and cooperative subjects. The light comes in fully around 8AM, so I took advantage of it and captured and edited these, warming… Continue reading Phaleanopsis Study
Leica D-Lux 6 visits the train museum.
I don’t usually carry a point and shoot to the field trips, either the full garb or no camera at all so I can concentrate in others, but today I made and exception because I wanted to try my D-Lux without the electronic viewfinder and no tripod. I’m not a tripod lover and I’m enjoying… Continue reading Leica D-Lux 6 visits the train museum.

So I got the M Type 240
And I can’t be any happier with the results. The file quality really leaves the M9 in the dust, and that extra ISO stop is not only usable. It totally rocks. The conversion to B&W has a lot more detail than its predecessor and since I’ve been doing a lot of B&Ws, totally unknown territory… Continue reading So I got the M Type 240
Noctilux visits Little Havana
So we finally went and done, got the Leica Noctilux f/0.95, with DOF so razor thin, sometimes we need to focus bracket, shooting a few while slightly moving back and forth, to make sure we get what we want. Here are but a few of what we got last Sunday morning, with our friend Ramon… Continue reading Noctilux visits Little Havana
