The All New More and More Fun With Digital M Images

[TRSmith]

This ain't art, but it's been keeping me busy and I'm finding the process of cutting Pine on my property to be enormously satisfying so I thought I'd share a few snapshots.

I'm working with an experienced woodsman and learning something every day. Right now he cuts and I twitch the logs out of the woods and pile them up for the portable sawmill that will come later. The numbers on the ends of the logs are estimates of board footage contained in the log. Right now, there's about 2,000 board feet piled up and when we get to around 4k, we'll call the sawyer. By the time we're done, we're hoping to have a total of about 30,000 to 40,000 board feet cut and sawn. Oh yeah, and I sleep really well at night!

Excellent shots all!

Matt, you're killing me with those Noct shots. Tim, the winter air doesn't seem so cold when you are involved in strenuous work.

Here's a morning commute shot on the way in this morning with the M9 and 35lux ... through a salty windshield.

LOL. I'll just bet you do. That's serious work, my friend. :salute:

Kurt, you better be careful!!! Big Brother is at work in your area! That 35 lux reveals that those street lights are actually scanners checking the passing cars!! That telltale, nearly vertical, and very narrow beam from each light source is the giveaway.

 

[KurtKamka]

Lloyd, either that or I need to get more wiper fluid.

No, NO!! Washer fluid is part of the conspiracy... it's designed to conceal those telltale signs the lux reveals!

 

[TRSmith]

Whoa Kurt, cool shot. I'm with Lloyd on this one, consider yourself scanned.

 

[Stuart Richardson]

Kurt -- funny, we had exactly the same idea today. I took this just before 1pm...not so much light right now, which is why I don't have that many photos lately...

Not an artsy photo, but that is the view on the way back from the camera store.
Also taken with the M9 and 35lux.

Be careful Stuart. Looks like there's a scanner directly in front of you there. Seems to be emitting a yellow beam.

 

[Stuart Richardson]

Actually, there is a speed cam/scanner directly to my right, out of frame. The in front should be red....if it was yellow I would be barreling through the intersection with little or no concern for myself or others.

M9; 50mm f/1; 1/250s @ f/1.0; -1/3 EV; ISO 160

Wow! That is a truly great photo. Leica could use this image to sell a boatload of M9 and Noctilux combos. Well done, Matt (as the British like to say it).

M8, Hexanon 90/2.8 @ 2.8:

That's a terrific image, Lloyd. Thanks for reminding us that we don't have to travel to exotic lands in order to be inspired by what we see around us.

 

[DavidE]

Two more from the recent CES trip, both with the 50 lux.

The first was shot just outside the South hall at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The second is from a glass-encased exhibit at the Hard Rock Cafe.

I agree David, that is even sexy, and thank you for reminding us of that.

David and Gero, my thanks to you both. Great images today from both of you as well. Love that sunset shot, David.

 

[DavidE]

Thanks, Lloyd. Here's another sunset shot taken a few minutes later, again with the 50 lux.

Thanks Tim!

Sturart, it's a shame that the winter light is so short with such a beautiful winter landscape in the background. Hopefully you are buying something good at the camera store.

A wonderful mix of color. And proof that it's not always best to have perfect White Balance.

 

[shtarka1]

Kurt...Love that shot!

Stuart...Incredible view!

David E...Intense color! Like the dude in red!

Gero..Like the bird compositions! Hope you didn't take any Hits!

Have a great weekend...
