Fleet Week Entering NY Harbor:
This is just a quick post. I’ve been in lately trying to finish up a couple of reviews that will be coming up soon but I heard some of the U.S. battleships were entering NY Harbor this morning for Fleet Week, and since I actually live by the area where all major ships go through, I figured I would take a little break, get some fresh air, and see if there was anything cool to photograph. I took my Fuji X-E2 because my longest lens for the Leica M is a 75mm, and I knew I would need something even longer. I still own the XF 90mm Macro but I knew I would need something even longer than that, so I figured with the crop factor, my 75mm Summilux would be great to use on the X-E2 today. [continue reading…]

Ice in New York City Harbors:
We’ve been getting some really cold days here in New York City. Some days have been in the teens and even the low single digits at night. Factoring in the wind, it often feels like it’s in the negatives. I was driving home and I saw some ice on the water, which I thought was really neat since I don’t actually remember a time when I ever saw ice floating around the harbors in New York City. I wasn’t out for long but here are a few photos I managed to take with my Leica M Typ 240. [continue reading…]

Leica X Typ 113 Pics From the Holiday Train Show:
For the most part, I shot with my Leica M 240 at the Holiday Train Show in the Botanical Garden but since I’m in the process of reviewing the Leica X Typ 113, I brought it along to see what I could get with it. I said in my previous post that I would put up some pics from the Leica X soon and here they are. The photos are all shot in raw and at 1600 ISO. [continue reading…]
Holiday Train Show at The New York Botanical Garden:
I think the best time to be in New York City is during Christmas Season. I lived here all of my life, and it’s my favorite time of the year. Holiday decorations adorn nearly every part of the city making things feel very festive, especially if there’s also a little snow on the ground. There are also some great events that occur during this time of year. For instance, I went to the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx the other day to see the annual Holiday Train Show.

One Pic From Dumbo…Cold Weather Finally Here:
It’s going to be a short post for today. I was out the other night in an attempt to take some photos but I wasn’t as productive as I thought I would be. It could’ve been because I was just doing a little exploring or the cold weather but it was most likely a combination of both. I generally love the cold but I have to admit that I was taken by surprise with the recent drop in temps and the rain. Actually, it was really the wind that was brutal. Still, I figured I would post something even if it’s just one picture from that night. I was exploring Brooklyn and ended up in Dumbo.
I had my Leica M 240 and 18mm Super Elmar with me. As some of you know, I’ve been shooting a lot with this combination for the past couple of months and I can’t seem to shake it. I quite enjoy how these two work together.
Speaking of Leica, I’ll be writing up an X Typ 113 review soon. I’m actually very excited about this because I enjoyed the X1 a lot. I owned the X100 at the time the X1 was the current X camera, and while I did enjoy it, I have to admit that I was always a little jealous of my brother in-law who bought the X1 :). The X100 was okay minus the bugs (the X1 had it’s own issues as well) but I always liked what came out of the X1.
I’ll post some pics of the new Leica X Typ 113 soon. Thanks for stopping by!
