Here’s another picture from a few weeks ago of our baby girl dancing. She definitely reminds me of her beautiful mom.
P.S. Here is the post from the other day.

Keep Dancing
Watching you
We have a two-sided fireplace (as you can see) and often times my little girl can easily be seen playing in the great room. I was watching TV and began watching my wife interact with our little one. I rushed out of my seat, grabbed my camera and hurried back and put my feet up and began shooting.

What’s that?
I always enjoy catching people in action. This shot was taken a few months ago while eating with my nephew. The bartender seemed very interested in what the customer was saying. I guess we’ll never know what?

Going
Another capture from the hip. My goal is to catch them mid-stride.

On the go
Recently I purchased Leica’s new 21mm super elmar. All I can say is WOW! The sharpness and minimal distortion is phenomenal. Last, I love using “zone focusing“. I just set my aperture and shooting distance and I’m ready to go. If you set your aperture to f/8 (has to be a sunny day) and shooting distance to 5 feet, anything beyond 3 feet will be in focus.
This shot was taken from the hip. This guy was definitely on the go.

Relaxing
It’s a blast shooting with my Leica 50mm Noctilux in low light. This was taken last week of a colleague of mine. The bokeh is simply awesome!!!

Spring is Here
It’s been an amazing past few weeks with the wonderful weather. Hopefully it continues. Here’s a picture I took with my Sony NEX-7 and Leica 90mm macro elmar using the Novoflex adapter. Leica glass on this already great camera, makes even more remarkable pictures. Oh, and the “pixel peaking” feature on the NEX-7 for manual focusing is wonderful and probably will be used by others because of how well it works.

Excited about Bath time
I posted this picture on my Facebook page and thought I would include it here also. Shot with my Sony NEX-7 and Leica 50mm Noctilux. Absolutely, awesome paired together! The “pixel peaking” feature works well.

Sony NEX-7 & Zeiss 24mm f1.8 shots
I posted my first picture using my new Sony NEX-7 on Saturday. I used my Leica 50mm summilux (80mm equivalent) lens and I had a few people inquire about pictures with the Zeiss 24mm f1.8 lens (38mm equivalent). Today’s post includes pictures using the 24mm lens.
So far I’m extremely impressed with the quality of the camera and lens. My previous camera experience includes “point and shoot”, Canon dSLR’s (including the 5D Mark II), and my Leica M9-P. I’ve grown accustomed to shooting with manual focus and forgot how nice it is sometimes to just let the camera do it. Most of the reviews out there will tell you the Sony NEX-7 autofocus is slower than other cameras in its class but acceptable. I don’t have any other experience shooting with other micro 4/3 cameras but so far I have absolutely no complaints about the speed. I think the speed is 100% acceptable and most would not be disappointed.
I use Apple’s Aperture for my camera raw processing and library and currently they don’t support the NEX-7 raw files. I’m trialling Phase One’s Capture One software since it does support it (I actually like the software but unsure if I want to use it in my workflow).
The pictures today are jpegs converted from raw files in Capture One. Little, to no editing was performed.
