Over Thanksgiving my nephew joined us for the holiday and this is one of a few shots I took of him. We were in very low light and I love shooting around 3200-5000 iso with my Leica M Monochrom. The grain (noise) is what I really enjoy in the pics.
ISO 4000 1/125 sec f2 90mm (Leica M Monochrom, Leica 90mm summicron APO, Lr 4, PS6)
ISO 320 1/500’s f3.4 21mm (Leica M Monochrom, Leica 21mm super elmar, Lr 4, Silver Efex Pro 2)
Shooting into the sun can always be challenging. I really liked how this shot came out. The sunburst in the sun and the “glowing” outline of the kids.

It’s been a busy last few weeks. Hopefully I can get back to posting pics this week.

Yes, I’m shooting this with the D800E which is a great camera but I still love the simplicity and the challenge of shooting with both of my Leica cameras.

I’ve been shooting the Leica M Monochrom for over a month now and absolutely love it. I read a lot of reviews on it and most think it is difficult to shoot with. Honestly, I’m unsure if it’s much different from the M9 other than post processing is a necessity and it has a high learning curve. I think in the past few weeks I’ve started grasping what needs to be done and have tried to make the pictures a little more “contrasty”. Here is an example.
