Looking into the sun

Shooting into the sun can always be challenging.  I really liked how this shot came out. The sunburst in the sun and the “glowing” outline of the kids.

Brotherly love

It’s been a busy last few weeks.  Hopefully I can get back to posting pics this week.

Happy Dog

For 6 months, the most common word in our house is “doggy”.  It would only make sense to dress her up as a dog…

Weapons of Choice

Yes, I’m shooting this with the D800E which is a great camera but I still love the simplicity and the challenge of shooting with both of my Leica cameras.

Where am I heading next

I’ve been shooting the Leica M Monochrom for over a month now and absolutely love it.  I read a lot of reviews on it and most think it is difficult to shoot with.  Honestly, I’m unsure if it’s much different from the M9 other than post processing is a necessity and it has a high learning curve.  I think in the past few weeks I’ve started grasping what needs to be done and have tried to make the pictures a little more “contrasty”.  Here is an example.
