Really not up with the caliber of regular posters here on this thread. But I did promise @lenticular11 that I would show off my new pride and joy....the Elmarit 28 ASPH. So here’s a quick snap down my driveway. 😉 The Elmarit does seem to play nice on the M8...which plays very nice with B&W processing. This is virtually OOC as I’ve committed to keeping it simple and don’t yet have the “right” tools on my iPad.

Here's the Leica SL and Noctilux 50mm in Hawaii.
This is a photo of a wave at Pipeline on the northshore of Oahu.

Aloha.

I didn't notice the wave

Great shot.

Joe have you tried the 50SL on the SL yet?? Curious to see what you think of it...

Thanks. And a few have mentioned not noticing the wave. Perfectly understandable.

No, haven't tried the 50SL. In fact the noctilux is my first leica lens. I like it very much.

Here's a photo of a photographer I met this morning at sunrise in Hawaii.

Since I am now awaiting an M8.2 (silly me...my GAS is not abating), I have found some of the earliest shots I took with my first M8, on a 2 day stay in Dec 2012 in Kuala lumpur en route to Europe. Both taken in the harsh equatorial light.

Now processed in LR, using the correct CV35 f/1.4 MC lens profile.

Think I’m enjoying this Elmarit 28 a little more each time I use it....

Another Yosemite shot.

Came across this path on our way out. I liked how it was nestled in the trees.

Shooting some ColorCheckerPassport calibration test shots this morning, with M240, ZM25 f/2.8 and Hawks-DIY converted Contax G21 f/2.8. The latter remains a horribly colour-smeared lens on the M240 and I still need a better profile for correction with CornerFix.

Here's a shot with the ZM25 Biogon, showing the G21 on my 1956 M3. Not happy with the colour in this and I can't help thinking back to my M9.

Oh, and I'm reminded

(nice film shots as usual Gary) to say Happy New Year to all!

I’ve been trying hard to understand street photography. Usually I just don’t get what people see in it. But this photo really captured me attention. I feel like it really tells a story.

My work was featured over on the Leica site a year or so ago and I was also interviewed. These are some on my thoughts that I shared at that time.
http://blog.leica-camera.com/2016/12/15/spontaneous-relationships/

I think if you really want to know more you should really look at the work of Henri Cartier Bresson, Winogrand, Costas Manos, Meyerowitz and Robert Frank (to name but a few)

Heres a piece on Robert Franks The Americans

I think that really good street work captures what photography does best as an art form. That is it does something that other art form can do. It freezes a moment in time and if you are really successful you find something interesting and or meaningful in that moment. It takes a lot of really hard work to do it well. Bresson called it a developed instinct.

One thing that i do totally agree with Winogrand about is I do not think that single photographs tell stories or need to do so. I agree with him in this piece. I think its about 1:26 in and goes through about 2:44
