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!!!

The Right Angle

I enjoy capturing others taking pictures. Here’s a group getting their picture taken. I like the young lady trying to get the right angle and the guy nearest me telling everyone to hold up.

What’s in my bag – Retro Lamp

I’ve been asked a few times what I carry in my bag.  Here is a video showing what I typically carry.

I’m not sure why I was fascinated by this lamp (I posted a prior pic here).  Maybe I was just mesmerized by the color of the light and the contrast created between it and the background with my Leica 50mm noctilux.

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.

 ISO 1/125s f3.4 21mm super elmar (7 exposure HDR, edited with Photomatix, PS6, & Aperture)

A Face in a Crowd

We were walking down Michigan Avenue and I decided to walk behind to catch a few candid pics of my baby girl.  I think she was a little sleep deprived and was acting a little crazy.  She kept waiving at me but everyone around me didn’t realize I was her father, thus they thought she was waiving at them.
