Little birdy told me I might have mine one day soon… 😀

My first reaction was go with the punchier version…but after looking at them for a while I'm going with the B&W. On the one hand it's tough to throw away those beautiful fall colors…but on the other hand I think the image is strong enough to go B&W. Having said that, you can't go wrong with any of them. Perhaps a triptych 🙂

I can only imagine the effort you made to obtain these shots…but I can assure you they are worth it. To my eye these are nothing short of spectacular…as were the images I've seen posted by you elsewhere. I would love to hear what inspired you to visit Ethiopia and how you managed to cultivate a rapport with your subjects.

Andy,

What a string of bad luck…my sympathies, as I can only imagine how frustrated you have been. I had the cracked sensor and replacement of the top OLED. Also had one lens arrive DOA. Leica repaired everything promptly and without charge…not even for shipping. I found Leica service to be excellent, albeit a bit slower than I would…[Read more]

It's a beautiful shot Pete…well done, and the colors are fabulous. Also like the way the clouds over the mountains add some balance to the image. If it were mine I'd probably clone out the black wire… but I realize that's a matter of individual taste and philosophy.

Nice shot Josh… I like it a lot. Come to the Ferrari show at the Breakers in Palm Beach this weekend. I think Roger and I may be there on Saturday afternoon.

I am marking my calendar 🙂

I think a bunch of us are in the same boat. Really do not understand why something as simple as this should be taking as long as it has…

Very nice images Kurt…am I wrong in thinking you've changed your B&W conversion a bit? Either way, I like them. I've been remiss in not wishing you the very best of luck in your new endeavor and location. Hope this is a happy and productive new year for you.

Looks like you have started on an interesting and challenging project and i wish you the best of luck with it. Of the three shots you posted…I like the first two better than the last. The gilt ceiling shots on your link that you did not post are more pleasing to my eye. I think that's because the ceiling is inherently symmetrical where the…[Read more]

As well as those who continue to do so….

With regard to the corrected version…it looks better to my eye but the top of the flag has now been cut off. Should be a fairly simple correction in Photoshop and one that's worth doing (IMHO).

David K, did you trade in the Mini and if so what is the new toy?

I did Mark. David and Josh told me that the Mini might be appropriate for transporting my M9 kit but not for the S2. When I asked them what I needed to get they both pointed at their respective BMW's and said… “Duh…”

So I succumbed to…[Read more]

Great story Al… and I applaud your improvisation. It was a pleasure meeting you the other day at Dale with Roger, David and Josh. I got distracted taking the Leica rep for a ride in my new car and never did get a chance to say goodbye. And yes… Roger will get you up at ungodly hours of the morning.

You really should try to get that…[Read more]

Jack, I don't think Josh had another pair of these to swap..they are EL. FS=For Sale BTW, these are especially good for watching the Packers go all the way again 🙂

Currently, I am way more into lighting, since that seems to make a much larger difference in the work than incrementally adding more of this or that to some digital box, especially a box like the S2 which is a light vampire just like most other MFD cameras. … not to mention that lighting is very challenging creatively.…

There's no other MF back on the market that I would rather have. But I wouldn't mind having one of these too 🙂 If there's anything out there that can render MF obsolete it will likely come from this company. Obviously an apples to oranges comparison…but wow on the image quality.

Beautiful images…look forward to seeing more in the future.

Nicely done. You are a fortunate man to have such a lovely and patient model as a wife. Good luck with learning your lighting. If you have a second light you might consider using one for the hair.

Here's one from the lingerie set Mark. There was one other set with the car where I wound up with excessive flare due to placement of the background light (my bad). Josh has suggested some post processing…[Read more]
