Fun with the Leica M Monochrom

This facade of a very old barn has just had a massive makeover. The white wall has no contrast unfortunately as the new plastering is dead smooth. Hand held, middle of the night fwiw.

I've been in Italy for the past three weeks or so. I took two bodies (M and MM) and five lenses. I used the Monochrom and the 50 mm Summicron Asph., that I was lucky enough to take delivery of just before we left, almost 100% of the lime. I usually shoot wide so I did a lot of stitching. I shot at f2.0 a lot. This is an amazing combination. I'll be posting images here over the next few weeks. We started off trekking for a week in the Dolomites.

Three frames stitched:

I kept a medium orange filter - a B+W 040 - on the lens 100 % of the time. This gave me just enough flexibility to shoot at f2.0 or f2.8 in daylight when I felt it was appropriate.

I cycled (road bike) in the Dolomites many years ago and have found memories what a wonderful place it was. The MM was just a twinkle in the eyes of its inventor as was the M, M9, M8 etc. etc. :) No matter which camera one uses, each would capture a unique and lovely interpretation of this spectacular area. Looks like the MM with orange filter and new 50mm cron asph was an ideal combination.
