Hey gang, I've been busy prepping for my first solo show, so I haven't had much time to be online or to shoot new photos. But, here's a handful from a couple of walks-

re: Fun with the New Leica M

HI There
This is the new member of our family - it was shot with my 50 'lux wide open (the lovely 50 'cron is now on it's way back to Leica :cry:)



Matty - 8 weeks​

Self possessed or what! She is rapidly taking over the house - in case you're interested, she's a Pyrenean sheepdog.

all the best

She is really a beauty! Would love one as well but my wife will kill me!

WRT Summilux, this is my favorite Leica 50mm lens, fast when you need it, but still small and lightweight.

re: Fun with the New Leica M

There is a serious scientific point of view to the effect that dogs have domesticated us, rather than vice versa.
HI Woody
Yes indeed - lots of interesting things. First of all that wolves do not bark in the wild - it's behaviour that has been taken up to aid their integration with humans (and of course they ARE wolves).

In this case, Matty has been reared by a couple who are really experienced breeders - but have not had a litter themselves. Basically they have kept stud dogs for years, and have been very much involved with showing and pedigree.

They decided to start breeding themselves because they were unhappy with the direction the breed was going in England (getting smaller and with a dodgy temperament). They've imported dogs from France, and then combined with the best of british - but this was their first litter.

. . . . Which means that the puppies have been really socialised - I visited twice, and they were allowed to mix with the other dogs - taken in the garden and allowed two rooms of the house, with almost constant attention. The result is a lovely self-confident and calm puppy - quite irresistible really!

all the best

@Woody:

I gather you think the M240 is capable of good BW (certainly in your hands that is true)? Is your workflow in CS6 or are you using Silverefex? I don't have my M yet ("any day now") but Silverefex is pretty darn good with the M9 and I am really looking forward to it, learning curve or not.

HI Alan
I can't answer for Woody, but I've certainly found the black and white conversions in Aperture - and also in Silver Efexpro 2 to be excellent - better than those from the M9 (although not of course as good as the Monochrom files).

All the best

Jono, are we to assume that this new cutie of yours is expected to go throuigh your usual winter initiation protocol required of all your dogs by enduring being covered with frozen ice balls as you so aptly displayed in a photo a couple months ago...and then model for photographs....LOL! If so, poor fella, doesn't know what he's in for. :).

Have fun with Maddy...it's a blast and I've been through it so many times. No doubt you'll leave your collection of old Leica camera straps scattered around for them to chew on! :)

as it snows outside , sigh I was at a game tournament last night and took some macros using my M8 and cron 50, well macros from 1.5 metres away :(

The highlight was a friend of one of the gamers was there and he recognised my camera, only the 3rd person in 2 years to do so, he is an amateur photographer who is into Nikons and also Film cameras too, we had a nice chat


This guy paints minis on the side to earn extra cash, his guys are the green dudes




these next 2 shots are of a guys minis , he is a comic book/cartoon artist and painstakingly paints everything with tiny brushes , wow
