A couple of days ago my baby girl and I flew to Florida. I wasn’t sure what to expect but obviously from the picture, she had no worries.

A friend of mine who was inquiring about my new Leica M Monochrom wondered how much post-processing I’m doing? Truthfully, the past few days I have used Silver Efex Pro 2 for processing. The pictures straight out of the camera in RAW are a little flat for my liking but you can easily add a little contrast to make the pictures pop.
Our little girl has to be involved in everything we do. In the mornings for example, she eats her breakfast, and then she eats her mom’s breakfast, and finally she has to eat her daddy’s breakfast.

P.S. I’ve provided a copy of the original for each of these pics.
I hope in the next few days I can sit down and write a few comments about my thoughts on Leica’s new M camera, the M Monochrom. I’ve owned it for 3 days and so far I’m amazed at the sharpness and amount of detail in the pics. Most of all, the ability to shoot at high ISO’s is what has amazed me the most. This shot was taken at 10,000 ISO! Yes, it has noise but it’s “noise” that gives the shot texture and also a film look.

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.

She may only be 15 months old but she is making every attempt to act beyond her age.

Recently, we celebrated my nephew’s 4th birthday. As you can see from the pictures, he was just a little excited.
