What makes Leica images so different? Back in those days of film and when my older daughter was little, we used to play this game: I would through a stack of 35mm slides on a light table and asked her to choose which ones she liked the best. Except for […]
For anyone who is interested, here is a rough description of how the true “base” ISO is determined… Every detector has a quantum efficiency and a full well capacity. The quantum efficiency is the percentage of photons that are incident on the detector and are actually registered. Typical values these days are […]
Our previous test was aimed to assess M10 performance under the direct sunlight. It did very well handling extreme contrast. Now it is time to see how good it is in a low-contrast conditions offered by the overcast sky. For the test we chose Elmarit-M 2.8/24 ASPH lens for its known […]
All previous reports on Leica M10 were limited to either studio, or available artificial lighting. Realizing that this is somewhat outside of what most Leica M shooters are used to, now we are conducting a series of tests with natural light. Shooting under the clear skies in the middle of […]
После трёх месяцев разработки и ещё месяца настройки учебной платформы, Администрация академии с гордостью сообщает, что первый онлайн-курс, построенный по принципу самообучения, запущен. Он предназначен для фотолюбителей, которые уже пришли к пониманию того, что их фотографии могли бы быть лучше, но пока не знают, как этого добиться. Курс состоит из […]
As it inevitably happens with any new camera, Leica M10 spawned countless internet debates regarding its abilities. Some like it unconditionally, others suggest that it is just an incremental upgrade of an M240 model. Yes indeed, M240 is so good that within its normal operating range it is hard to […]
За несколько лет работы с артистами балета, я узнал несколько вещей, которые могут показаться вам довольно полезными. Например, как сфотографировать нечто подобное. На первый взгляд, это может показаться невозможным – оказаться на сцене во время исполнения танца при полном аншлаге – это не просто так взял, и вышел. Разумеется, если […]
I have worked with classical dancers for a few years and learned a few things that you might find very useful. Like, for instance, how to get a shot like the one below. At first it may seem unthinkable: getting on stage during a live full-house performance is not something […]
As we have already mentioned in our recent review of the Leica M10, it turned out to be an ideal solution for low light photography. To bring some substance to our claim, we present a set of images shot during a ballet practice at the Detroit Opera House. Even though […]
Leica M10 Preview Leica M10 is the fourth generation digital rangefinder camera from Leica, and it was much anticipated by professionals and enthusiasts alike. Indeed, knowing that each new M was in some respect groundbreaking, it would be logical to assume just that. What can I say? Yet again, Leica […]
