    If you read Red Dot Forum or have an interest in Leica-related news, you know that Dale Photo & Digital recently had the privilege of opening Leica Store Miami, one of the first Leica store locations in the United States. You can read the official press release about our opening here. We are excited to share that Leica Store Miami will be running its first workshop: the Leica Photo Adventure in the Florida Keys and Everglades.

    Join your favorite Leica Specialists David Farkas and Josh Lehrer (that's me!), along with award-winning Florida photographer and naturalist Paul Marcellini on a trip to some of the most unique and beautiful areas that South Florida has to offer. Paul is an expert in all things Everglades and Keys, and his incredible photography will inspire you to push your photographic boundaries and use Leica cameras in ways you never thought were possible.

    The workshop runs over 4 days and includes stops at Everglades National Park, Bahia Honda, Key West, and Dry Tortugas National Park. For a full summary of the workshop, along with details about pricing and scheduling, visit Leica Store Miami's website. You can also email us with more questions.

    Here is the second in the 3rd ward series. David K suggested these structural shots suggest options in post processing, which this one received. I am trying to make the shot abstract, and post processing allows for that.
    Again 120mm.
    In fact, all planned nine shots in a matrix will be just the 120mm.

    The final dimensions of each photo…[Read more]

    Great photo Jack…it really draws the viewer in. I find myself studying the elements of the sculpture…they are kind of fascinating. And I think it lends itself to all kinds of post processing.

    Leica Store wrote a new post 13 years, 5 months ago

    At long last, the all-new Leica M (typ 240) has begun shipping in the United States. This highly anticipated camera was announced by Leica at Photokina in September of 2012 and features a host of improvements from the hugely successful M9 that should make this one of Leica's all-time most popular cameras.

    As with nearly all new Leica products, initial shipping quantities will be small with deliveries expected to ramp up over the coming weeks and months. Of course we are anxiously awaiting the opportunity to test this camera for ourselves and will post sample images as soon as we can.

    Dale Photo & Digital is accepting orders for the Leica M, email us or call at 1-800-327-1776 for more information.

    To learn more about the new Leica M, check out David's Photokina coverage.
