As always, I enjoy catching up and seeing all the incredibly varied images on this forum! I have a few taken yesterday...I'm trying to carry my M9 with me more on errands, etc. shot some store reflections around my area of Houston in the process. Here are a few. I was drawn to the "layers" in these images"...Taken with the M9 and 75 Cron asph lens......Eleanor
Really nice shots, Eleanor. Nicely seen and captured. I too like the "layers". Almost looks like a texture applied in post processing.

That's a nice shot, and excellent use of the wide angle, Helen. Congrats on the new camera (and the very nice glass). Looking forward to much more as you share your rangefinder journey! :thumbup:
Helen: +1 to what Lloyd says. A very well controlled capture.

Eleanor: +1. I particularly like the way you have controlled the shots thru a glass window. Not easy to do.


Regards.

I want to photograph some trams, I said to Ayesha.

I shall look around inside the shop, she said.

I went about using my camera. To photograph.

How did it go?, said Ayesha coming from the shop.

Did you get your trams?

No, I said. Things were always getting in the way.



I expect you want to photograph some cars now? said Ayesha, looking up the street.

Lloyd, Rayyan & Shtarka1 thanks for the kind words. Its very inspiring to see what rangefinder shooters do here... i'm still learning how to use my M8 as i have been used to SLR to DSLR for the past years.

Eleanor, Nice To See You Again & Excellent Set!
Hi guys and girls.

It has finally happened. My M9 arrived! Almost 6 months after ordering one. The waiting time was well spent lurking around here. Learning lots and loving all the great shots posted here. I think it is great to see so many people out there taking shots of anything and everything. It is mind boggling to see all the gear and how far some of you folks travel.

It is my first rangefinder. I have spent the last week practising. Its like having a new child. I am making all the normal mistakes (seem normal to me). Like forgetting to take the lens cap off and forgetting to focus because the viewfinder is so lovely and bright. I am sure things will improve once I stop ignoring those framelines!

So far I have the 50lux, 35lux anf 75 cron. I would LOVE a leica wide angle. I do have a canon Fl 19mm. It is not rangefinder coupled but I gave it a go and was quite surprised.

My subject was not very inspiring. I would have loved a dog like Jono Slacks to do a burnout in the corner. I made do with a ball.

I don't have the right software to open DNG file yet so the pics will be jpegs out of thecamera and resized. Which is fine for now, because I don't really know what to to do with editing programs. I would welcome any CC. Any suggestions on possible improvements with post processing would be welcomed too!

Hope this works.

Cheers

Helen
Helen, You Have A Serious Leica Set Up! Very Nice Perspective & Looking Forward To More From You!

Thanks, Ashwin, Maggie, Steve, Matt, and rayyan.

I do love the 24 lux. It was 106 degrees my first day in Vegas, so I spent most of the time indoors shooting wide open or close to wide open.

Here are three ceiling shots using the 24 lux.

Thanks so much for your comments LLoyd, Rayyan and Steve. I hope to be posting more soon. I get so many ideas from this forum about possibilities for my Leica! Never thought I would be a Leica owner but I'm having a ball with it! Eleanor

@ Jono: Nice stuff, Jono. I clicked over to your site, and from what I see, it's quite an impressive lens. It seems to render images very similarly to the prior 35 lux asph. Is that your impression as well?

Focus seems more critical, but that being said, I didn't have much of an issue with mine (though, this could be that the tolerances of the older lens' focus shift is within my ability to focus correctly).

I look forward to your full review and impressions

@ Sjg: Nice perspective and coversion

I've been busy upgrading my computer and software till this morning. I decided to test everything out by processing an older image I took in Yosemite this past February - beside it's nice remembering the cooler weather why it's 105 outside....
