A weekend in New Mexico with the Leica M

[Amin]

I wanted to focus up on my recent gear advice thread with a photo thread.

This past week I went to New Mexico with my dad and brother for an extended weekend where we rode in a balloon at the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta and did some additional photography in and around Albuquerque and Santa Fe.

The weather was gorgeous all weekend, though clouds were few and far between making for less than spectacular skies. All of the following photos are with the Leica M, Zeiss ZM 18/3.5, Leica 35/1.4 ASPH II, Leica 50/1.4 ASPH, and Leica 90/2.5.

It was wonderful spending the time with my dad and older brother. Doing photography without my wife and kids rushing me was great too .

Thanks again to everyone who helped me think through my gear choices. Happy I decided to stick with my Leica kit!

Wonderful! Love the 3rd shot of the balloons, and on the 4th image, it felt like you added those balloons in post!
