My plan this morning was to shoot with my dad’s Leica 21mm Super Angulon. The problem is that the rear element is so close to the sensor it fringes the outside edges purple and does not expose correctly. I use this lens on the M-P 240 in monochrome and with the EVF2 which does a […]Read Post ›
The rain overnight added some very nice water droplets to jonquils coming up around Rockport this morning. I was out and about with my Leica MP 240 and the 50mm Summilux. I’m usually not a flower person but the water droplets were really interesting. Shooting flowers is all about the background and the angle which […]Read Post ›
This mornings shadows were beautiful! I was out and about with the Leica MP 240 and the Leica 50 mm Summilux. A couple of days ago I saw a possible image but was not able to make a shot of it. This morning, knowing that the same opportunity would be there I brought the camera […]Read Post ›
Most every morning my wife and I head down to our local coffee shop for a hot beverage and something to eat. We love talking with the owners and the regulars. I also bring my Leica along for the ride with either the 50mm or 35mm. These images are from the past year and just […]Read Post ›

I like to challenge my photographic skills whenever I can. Being semi-retired I feel it’s very important to stay sharp and on top of your game. For me it’s a matter of keeping what I’ve got and not losing it. This past Saturday I decided to bring my Leica M-P 240 with me to the […]Read Post ›
Well it’s been about a month since I have been back here to give my thoughts. Today I watched an Ansel Adams documentary made in 2002 which I have seen once before. Every time I see it I am brought back to my formative years as a photographer seeing and learning from his inspiring work […]Read Post ›
For the past month or so myself and numerous other photographers have been chasing the color around New England. We are in the throws of the last of the fall color for this year. I’m pretty lucky to live where I do. The sumac in my front yard goes really red and orange and is […]Read Post ›
As many of you know early morning walks with the Leica are a favorite pass time of mine. This morning was no different but it was not a long walk. On the way to the coffee shop I was dismayed at the lack of parking. It seemed like everyone was in town this bright morning. […]Read Post ›
