George Rogers Clark Memorial part 3

This is the last George Rogers Clark Memorial shot that I took.  This was taken hand-held with my Leica M Monochrom and 90mm summicron APO.  I’ve been asked a few times about the Monochrom compared to the new M typ 240 and I believe without question the Monochrom wins.  All I will say is the dynamic range and sharpness in my opinion kicks the M (240)’s butt.

The prior George Rogers Clark shot taken in black & white took a lot of post processing to get it the way I wanted (I think I used 4 different layer mask).  This shot was post-processed with no layer mask.  Any thoughts?

Waiting for Snow – Leica M (240)

I’m finally back after taking a few weeks off.  We traveled to Alabama and to New Orleans and just recently got back.  I hope to post some pics from our trip in the coming weeks.

On Friday of last week I got the exciting call from Dale Photo (now called Leica Miami) telling me that I was one of the first to get the new Leica M (240).  I’ve only had a small amount of time to take pics.  Here is one of my first shots.  I could immediately notices substantial improvements in comparison to my Leica M9-P.  This shot was taken at ISO 800 and in my opinion renders skin colors much better than the M9 and has much less noise.  I think I’m going to be very happy with the camera.

I hope to post more pics soon.
