Hey Al, It will be great to see you again. I plan on going to Photo Plus and Leica's S studio event.

Since all the good spots at the roadside were taken…I climbed up the mountain to where the waterfall fed the pond. The good news is that I was out of the frame for all the roadside shooters. As you may recall…it was pretty much dark out when…

Josh, David, and Jack,

Thank you for the sRGB advice. I have been exporting in sRGB color space and only recently noticed an issue. Perhaps my export preset got inadvertently changed. I will check.

Jack, your photos posted in this thread have good pop to them. Also, my ugly mug is proof that someone my age and stature should not be in…[Read more]

David K;1005 wrote: We really had some great spots to shoot this day. Here's one that I climbed half a mountain for…not my best shot of the day but the one I worked hardest to get. Also a bit different than what's been posted.

I like this shot a lot, but have no idea where you took it. :confused: Can you give me a hint?

Mark and Al, looking forward to seeing you both in NYC. 😀

You are correct Arif, it was a great time. We had a great bunch of people on the trip. Would love you have you join us next time wherever that will be.

Mark, usually that happens when the photos are uploaded with a color space other than sRGB. When the browser converts it to sRGB for web viewing, it gets very dull.

Wow! Great photos everyone. I wish I had time to post my photos much earlier. It is tough to follow such good photos. Like David I will try to post some different views.

The original OLED part, while ultimately defective, is a great idea. The ability to color-code information on the top display allows the user to quickly see what's going with the camera. For example, if a setting on the top OLED is blue while shooting tethered, that means that setting is being controlled from the computer. If something is green,…[Read more]

I will be there from Oct 26 – 30th. I will definitely meet up with you and Josh sometime during that period.

Doug,

Unfortunately, all S2 service is performed in Germany. The good news is that turnaround for S2 service is pretty quick.

I have been playing with this combination a bit today to see what's what. I tried every combination I could, camera on first, flash on first, camera on then attach flash while off, camera on then attach flash while on. I have yet to find a combination where the flash will not allow me to select TTL-HSS while attached to the camera. If I take the…[Read more]

I learned from the best. 😉

This one was a little tricky, though. The blue hour light was changing pretty quickly and my first attempt was 32 second exposures, which meant that between the exposure time and the dark frame subtraction time, I was taking 64 seconds per image,…[Read more]

A few more images, this time from Day Three:

Leica S2 with Schneider Apo-Digital 120mm f/5.6 Tilt Shift lens, 1/180 sec at f/5.6. I wanted to play with this lens' tilt and shift. This was shot wide open with the…[Read more]

Two images from the second day of shooting. Amazing how fast the light changes.

This was my first time using the Kenko Variable NDX filter, which allows precise ND control from…[Read more]

Just a quick shot from Day One. I was determined to have a picture without any leaves for some reason.

It functions identical to the Leica adapter that was recently released, other than being less expensive.

Pete:

The adapter I used is our Leica S2-Mamiya Mount lens adapter. It works will all Mamiya 645 manual focus lenses. Along with the Schneider, we like to use the Mamiya 80mm f/1.9 as well.

I've used the Kaesmann Circular Polarizer MRC 82mm back in my Canon days with the UW lenses. That works fine for me as well. I have not used them on the S2. I was a little bit unsure about their effect. At all I am not a big fan of filters. 😉
What I have used on the S2 are Cokin Filters. But they attract…
