I didn’t just take pics of the “The Bean” with my Olympus OM-D, I also shot with my Leica M9-P and 21mm super elmar.
This shot is not a HDR and was shot handheld. The shot is slightly cropped so that I could remove my self from the picture. I was attempting to get the original sky and the reflected sky to blend.

Another capture from the hip. My goal is to catch them mid-stride.

We ran home for a quick visit with friends and family. Any time we go home I always have to get pizza from Bobe’s Pizza. Growing up I probably ate there at least twice a week.
After we finished eating, our daughter decided she would get on the table and try to entertain everyone. Don’t worry she has vitamin bottles in her hands.

Recently I purchased Leica’s new 21mm super elmar. All I can say is WOW! The sharpness and minimal distortion is phenomenal. Last, I love using “zone focusing“. I just set my aperture and shooting distance and I’m ready to go. If you set your aperture to f/8 (has to be a sunny day) and shooting distance to 5 feet, anything beyond 3 feet will be in focus.
This shot was taken from the hip. This guy was definitely on the go.

Taken from the hip while walking the streets in Dallas, TX.

I have been extremely busy the past few weeks. When that happens unfortunately the first thing that has to be put on the back burner is the website. Don’t worry though, I still find time to take pictures.
I had the opportunity to take a few pictures while in Dallas. I never know when I go to these meetings if I will have the time to shoot but I try as much as possible. This picture was taken with my new Leica 21mm Super Elmar. When focused, the images are razor sharp. It’s very compact and very easy to use. Anyway, I was shooting from the hip while walking trying to catch people in motion. I think I accomplished what I was looking for?
