Leica X Typ 113 First Look:
I thought I’d post a quick look at the Leica X Typ 113 before I post my review at a later date. First off, it’s always great to try out a new Leica even if it’s not mine, especially since I’ve been a big fan of the X Series for a while now. I know the X Series isn’t perfect; for instance, an internal viewfinder would be nice. But there are a lot of great things about this particular series I think are worth mentioning like the image quality, the solid build, and the sheer simplicity of its design. [continue reading…]

Creative Color Adjustments for Urban Landscapes by Markus Gerhards:
I spent a week in Abu Dhabi and Dubai in September 2014. If you love architecture, especially skyscrapers, you will love these cities.
To get a flight and hotel is not a problem at all and it is not overly expensive as well. It is slightly more expensive when you decide to visit the place in winter, the best time to be there. This is because it gets very hot in summer time. So hot that people avoid being outside at day time and even at night most restaurants, where its nice to sit outside in winter, are closed due to the heat in summer. [continue reading…]

Leica 35mm Summicron-M f/2.0 ASPH Review:
The 35mm lens is one of the most common focal lengths for Leica M shooters because the angle of view makes it very versatile and perfect to shoot a number of different subjects, such as, but not limited to environmental portraiture, street, landscape, and candid work. Because this focal length is so popular, Leica currently makes three different 35mm lenses for the M system to suit a variety of needs, tastes, and budgets. One of these lenses is the Leica 35mm Summicron-M f/2.0 ASPH, a lens whose lineage has reached legendary status, and considered by many as the quintessential lens for the M. [continue reading…]

FUJI XF 10-24MM f4: Shooting Architecture
Fuji’s X series lens lineup (including Zeiss’s three X mount lenses) is one of the primary reasons the system has been so well received by both professionals and informed enthusiasts. Even their first-generation line-up of primes performs very well, especially with all of the firmware updates. [continue reading…]

The Search for the Ideal Street Photography Bag
Like Patrick, I’ve also been a long-time user of Billingham bags. I bought my first Billingham 20 years ago (an original Hadley), and my Hadley Pro, which I still own, is old enough that I don’t remember the year that I purchased it (maybe a decade ago, during its first year of production?). I also use a 335 for professional location work. [continue reading…]
