50mm Goodness

As much as I like 28mm and in particular 35mm if I had to choose a single focal length, 50mm would be what I’d choose.

The 50mm focal length is always the real deal.

Paralysis analysis

Digging around the internet for ideas on limiting the gear you have and own, I came across this definition that appears to suit my current thinking to a tee.

Craving Simplicity

Sometimes it all gets a bit too much and at the moment my seemingly endless quest to find the right camera gear has been giving me a rather painful bout of sensory overload.

All in on Leica?

A little while ago I wrote a blog post about the compromises I make shooting with the Leica M10-P. At the time I have to say I was struggling to justify quite a bit about it for my needs. 

Happy Anniversary ‘Cron

It’s exactly a year since I pushed the button and was lucky enough to buy myself a Leica Summicron 35mm f2 ASPH.

Starting to Feel The Black and White Pull

I’ve been shooting and editing to black and white almost exclusively since before Christmas and since the beginning of the New Year I’ve been shooting with a monochrome view through the live view of my camera.

Compromise – At what cost?

After a little over two years of owning my Leica M10-P, the thought process is do I need (well I want) to move it on.

Two Years in.

Celebrating two years of Leica M10-P ownership today.

It’s been a pleasure to use, not always practical and for sure doesn’t suit all sorts of photography – but the results never fail to impress and it’s always such fun to shoot with.

Film in Scotland

Having a few days away in Scotland I couldn’t resist taking my film gear and a couple of rolls of film along for the ride with my digital cameras I had on hand.

Here’s a few random images from a great few days – if you’ve never been put it on the bucket list, the Highlands of Scotland is an amazing area to visit!

Leica for Landscape

A few photos from the past weekend, shooting with just the Leica M10-P & Summicron 40mm f2. It’s a great camera for casual landscape and outdoor photography, the ease of use making it the perfect companion.

Jeez Camera Gear Buying is such a Waste.

Looking back through the memories that pop up on my Facebook timeline from time to time I came across a photo I had taken back in 2017 with some new gear I’d just bought.

Loading a Leica M6

Before buying my Leica M6 I read quite a variety of forum posts/blog posts etc with regards to loading film. It appeared that many people struggle with loading even with the quick load system the M6 has.

A Growing Love Affair

I had been looking on rather longingly at Leica M6’s for quite a while now wondering if all the fuss and attention they garnered was really worth all the thousands of words that have been written about them over the years.
