Fun with the Leica M Monochrom

[pegelli]

Back after a week of vacation and then another week to install all my photos and apps on a new computer.

To show where I've been, the white cliffs of Etretat (Normandy)

M246M + Minolta M-Rokkor 28/2.8

.. great photo!

The early light and the mild shadow on the beach is also great.

Thanks, it was helped by a giant but thin diffuser in the sky, still giving a bit of directional light of the sun shining through.

Thanks Peter, I decided on a custom built Windows tower, I9 processor, 32 GB RAM, 2TB SSD and a fast video card (ASUS RTX 3050 with 8 GB RAM).
It was definitely worth it, time to Topaz Denoise AI my 42 MP photos was reduced from 45 minutes per shot on my 8yr old machine to less than 30 seconds on this one

Continued service, M10M

I just had my M10M flying off the backpack against a wall and then on the ground. Still takes photos but I think the alignment is off. Never had anything like that happening before. Oh well. Off to Leica for a complete check-up. Small ding in the top deck now marks the owner.

“45 minutes per shot on my 8yr old machine to less than 30 seconds on this one.”

Very nice Pieter.
I wonder how long that would take on a new Mac mini?

I wouldn't know, but who cares

Thanks Pieter - my 6yr old IMacPro is starting to struggle a bit in LR when I am in my big Catalogue - so I am thinking about updating.
