    Jack MacD replied to the topic 3rd Ward series in the forum Images to Share 12 years, 3 months ago

    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]

    Thanks Irakly,

    The M8 battery in an M9 problem you described just happened to me. I had 30% of the battery left, and I suddenly had a dead M9.
    First I reinserted the battery and initially it showed I had a full memory card. Then the card returned to a correct reading. I wondered if the card was the problem so I reformated the card. Problem…[Read more]

    Jack MacD replied to the topic Just been hooked ! in the forum Images to Share 12 years, 4 months ago

    I started with the 35mm only. I got the 120mm from David Farkas when it became available. That's all I have and the camera is used for everything. I recommend asking David for a loaner/renter of a 120mm for you to answer the questions you are asking, but don't examine it unless you have the cash to buy it as you will love it.

    Our second interesting storm of the year. The day before was in the 50s and then dropped 30 overnight while raining. With a wind, the snow sticks to the side of trees.

    35mm.

    Thanks,
    It was literally cool, but your winter shots inspired me to get outside.
    Glad you find the new S higher ISO useful.

    In winter, you can always create other seasons by getting closer to your subject.

    This process started with a 120mm shot of a Wisconsin lighthouse on Lake Michigan in winter.
    Then I went back on another day just get closer to the lighthouse, to create an industrial abstract. A much colder day I might add.
    Next I created nine seasons of…[Read more]

    The first one was with the 35mm
    I went back and shot with the 120mm. I bet Kipper suspects that there will be a third shot in the series.

    Still figuring on the matte.

    Jack MacD replied to the topic Leica S 120mm or 180mm in the forum S Lenses 12 years, 5 months ago

    The easiest way to answer your question is to first ask you what lenses you shoot with most in your current system?

    I have the 120mm and use it extensively. I have shot with the 180mm, but I rarely shot a 135mm in 35mm format, so I rarely would use the 180 even if I had it. Secondly, there is so much resolution to spare, I can crop down to…[Read more]

    Always happy to save someone from having a $5-7000 lens hit the floor, much less a lake.
    I'm curious what drew your attention to this post? I tried to make it attention getting but perhaps I could do better?

    So now tell us your 35mm story please
