Here is the same image from yesterday but shot with the Leica M Monochrom. Honestly, I’m unsure which shot I like best? I think it really depends on my mood.
ISO 320 .5 sec f16 21mm (Leica M Monochrom, Leica 21mm super elmar, Lee seven5 filter set, Lee seven5 .6 graduated filter, Lee .6 solid filter, LR4, Nik Software, Define 2)
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?

Here is the second picture in this series

I realized last night my site was down. Unfortunately, I didn’t get it back up and working until tonight. Hopefully, I won’t have another problem for a while.
I took a series of images last week while visiting family. I’m getting accustomed to using my Leica M Monochrom mostly in low light situations. I’m still amazed on how well performs and the pictures it produces. Combining it with Leica’s new 50mm summicron APO creates a phenomenal pair! The 50mm APO was without question designed for this camera.

It’s a simple interest but if you carefully look, there is a log of symmetry. Often times this symmetry isn’t noticed until after the image was taken but in this instance I knew I had something immediately prior to composing the shot.

The picture explains it…

I don’t think I’ve ever had so many eyes on me at once.

Recently, I’ve been excited to post pics taken with my Leica M 240. I still have my Leica M Monochrom and love how it renders black and white pictures. We were in New Orleans and one evening a friend and I took a walk down Bourbon street. I was amazed how crazy it was even on a Tuesday night. It’s definitely, a great town to take pictures.
