The Bean (revisited)
I’ve taken pictures here before (you can find links below). I recently purchased the Leica S and plan on introducing it over the next few weeks to this blog. I’ve been looking at this camera for a very long time and have dreamed of having the perfect “landscape” camera. So far all I can say is WOW!!!

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?

George Rogers Clark Memorial part 1
This past weekend we drove back home for a birthday party. I decided to get up one morning and take a few pictures of the George Rogers Clark Memorial. I’m always trying to imagine places to take landscape pictures back home but unfortunately, the majority of what is around is flat farm land. This is one of the few unique structures in and around where I’m from.

The Bean – Black & White
I’m amazed how often people click on my blog because they are searching for information on Chicago’s “The Bean” (its real name is Cloud Gate). I’ve posted this image before in color but honestly have never been happy with the look of the sky. Here’s the picture in black and white. I think I’m finally happy with the sky and background.

Crown Fountain part 2
This picture, taken of Crown Fountain at Millennium Park in Chicago was taken around 5:30 am. My prior picture was taken just 2 hours later. Look at the clouds and you can see the amazing transformation from a cloudy, potentially gloomy day to one filled with sunshine.

The Bean – revised
Often times I process an image and then decide later that it was not up to par or wasn’t what I really hoped it to be. This image is a perfect example. My prior post, when you look into “the bean” the sky is blown out. I don’t know why I didn’t pay attention to this before but like anything else, I learned from my mistake.
P.S. I plan on having my “what’s in my bag” video up in the next few days.

If you didn’t see my video discussing my typical settings for my Olympus OM-D yesterday, you can find it here.
Here is another picture taken at Millennium Park. I personally think the art and memorials at the park are well put together. Here is another one.
