A fine salute to those brave men and women who gave their all.

Your Monitor Back Plane Brightness setting is currently on Automatic. This adjusts the monitor backlight (not image brightness) based on ambient lighting conditions. To change:

1) Setup menu
2) Monitor/Display
3) Back Plane
4) Backlight
5) Change to Medium
6) Confirm by depressing the thumb wheel

This should solve your problem.

I think that fotografz is on the right 😀 track. I am thinking about getting the RRS macro ring and rack. The next problem will be the flash. If one mounts a pair of flashes on the RRS ring, could one fire them with a pocket wizard? What about hand holding the SF 58 and using the RC-S cable release?

Oops! Sorry.

I posted the wrong link for the Really Right Stuff solution, here's the correct one.

Thanks, I try this 😉

That rumour doesn't make sense for me either. I would not be surprised if the grey M9 option just fades away but that is because the chrome M9-P option has proven to be so popular. I don't see why the black paint M9 can't continue to co-exist with the M9-P options though since the internals of course are identical.
Of course everything may…[Read more]

A little fill light for the wreathes and perspective correction for the convergence would make it ideal….

Nice capture.

I like it. Well done. The sun angle is great for backlighting the flag and stone building. However, it puts the wreaths leaning on the headstones in shadow. To bad you can't have it all.

it's bad when the light is dark…

on the magnific S2 the screen must be all right and all the time I think !

Just curious, why a little ring-light?

Ring-lights produce flat results, flat as a pancake.

Big Ring-light strobes produce a shadowless effect often used for fashion, but for macro I've never understood the concept of dead-on flat light (except maybe for scientific recording where art, or modeling the shape of the subject, isn't the…[Read more]

I usually use MF or do the same as Marc

and another suggestion (even if probably complicated to implement):

I need a limitiation of the focus-range for the 120 macro. As the lens don't have such a limitiation, it screws all the way through the focal range, which takes much time. So a…

I read it the same way. 30,000 M9's is an awful lot of camera for Leica to manufacture by hand though.

No bikinis and not South Beach but what I feel is a colorful part of Miami, Little Havana. Trying the S2 out as a street camera was like driving a Ferrari through small town America, you get noticed a lot more. I shot in the domino park where they are used to getting their photos taken by tourists so it was pretty easy to move around and…[Read more]

Yes, thanks, got it on my iPad and it is easy to navigate, though linear. Interesting portfolios to study, and the tech article about optics is by Michael J. Hussmann, who should be known to members here.

Thanks,

Sorry but the picture from Atanabe inspired me much to make a dummy advertising title page with one of the picture… i hope its ok 🙂 Otherwise i remove it…

Actually Roger, I got up on time and the subject came to me instead of me seeking out a subject . . . what a wonderful place! So here are shots of the lifeguard towers from today.
