A little girl and her dog part 1

My wife and I have been fortunate to have a wonderful dog, Abby for the past 13 years.  She has always been a very loving dog and full of energy.  In the past year, her health has been declining and her time with us is limited.  My little girl has really enjoyed having her around.  Abby has enjoyed eating the trail of food my little girl leaves all the time.

It’s been difficult to get any good pictures of my little girl and our dog together.  Both never seem to sit still long enough for me to capture a moment.  Luckily, I was able to catch a few the other day.  These will probably be the only series of “good” pictures I will get of them 2 together.

George Rogers Clark Memorial part 3

This is the last George Rogers Clark Memorial shot that I took.  This was taken hand-held with my Leica M Monochrom and 90mm summicron APO.  I’ve been asked a few times about the Monochrom compared to the new M typ 240 and I believe without question the Monochrom wins.  All I will say is the dynamic range and sharpness in my opinion kicks the M (240)’s butt.

The prior George Rogers Clark shot taken in black & white took a lot of post processing to get it the way I wanted (I think I used 4 different layer mask).  This shot was post-processed with no layer mask.  Any thoughts?

One Way

It’s a simple interest but if you carefully look, there is a log of symmetry.  Often times this symmetry isn’t noticed until after the image was taken but in this instance I knew I had something immediately prior to composing the shot.

The Hot Dog Man

Recently, I’ve been excited to post pics taken with my Leica M 240.  I still have my Leica M Monochrom and love how it renders black and white pictures.  We were in New Orleans and one evening a friend and I took a walk down Bourbon street.  I was amazed how crazy it was even on a Tuesday night.  It’s definitely, a great town to take pictures.

What’s next?

I’ve been busy with work the last few days and haven’t had time to post.  Peter at Prosophos featured Photographer Ashwin Rao today, you should go there and read his profile, he’s a great guy.

This shot was taken a few weeks ago at my Aunt’s house.  I felt the hardwood floor complimented my little girls dress.
