Leica M Monochrom typ 246 ISO 500 f5.6 1/250 28-35-50mm tri-elmar version II @ 50mm

My little girl has taken a liking to spending time with me while I’m taking pictures. Â I always try to take some time to take pictures of her.

I’ve posted a video displaying my micro 4/3 lenses and my routine setup for my Olympus OM-D. Â You can view it here.
Recently, a lot of storms have crossed our area. Â One evening I drove out to an old cemetery (I’ve posted a prior picture here) and shot some long exposures with my Nikon D800E. Â This is a 6 second shot. Â I really like the clouds.

Almost 2 years ago I said good-bye to all my Canon DSLR gear with the assumption I would never buy another one. Â Earlier this year Nikon introduced the D800 and D800E. Â What caught my eye was the 36 megapixel full frame sensor. Â My first thought was “wow”, a full frame camera with the picture size of a medium format camera. Â I immediately placed a pre-order but shortly after cancelled it. Â I’ve been debating a lot if I really wanted to go back in this direction but after reading all the reviews, I came to the decision that my love for landscape photography warranted another attempt.
Last week, I finally came across one (Best Buy online)and purchased along with Nikon’s popular 14-24mm f2.8 wide angle lens. Â I have not had much opportunity to shoot with it yet but so far I’m surprisingly impressed. Â I don’t like the size but for landscape I can tolerate it. Â Over the next months, I’ll continue to post pics and my opinion.
Here is another shot of the cemetery taken at a farther distance. Â It was taken hand-held with my Nikon D800E and 14-24mm lens. Â I was very impressed after realizing the ISO was 6400. Â I think for that high of ISO, the quality is acceptable (I did use Define 2.0 for Noise Reduction).
P.S. Â My Leica M9 will not be going anywhere and will still always be kept very closely to my side.
