mrckdavies Posted January 13, 2017 Share #26061 Posted January 13, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) So my friends are some of my photos of my second visit to Leica. The first a couple of years ago was for their centenary celebrations. I did not have a proper Leica then, just the Typ 109. I caught a bug back then that just needed an antidote. Here some shots of the outside of the "temple" of Leica to begin. These are with the M6 TTL. And who cannot resist a coffee break at Leitz Café when Leica customer services offer to pay. Henry you are welcome to edit my colour casts anytime- you have my respect. Next up the exhibition hall.

mrckdavies Posted January 13, 2017 Share #26062 Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) So to the exhibition hall and the Elliott Erwitt exhibition. And the exhibition of these wonderfully humorous photos, so well thought out, you have to admire the thinking before the execution of the photo taking. And then of course there is the camera exhibition, but I had shot this before, so these had to be something different I had not taken before, or messed up two years earlier....

mrckdavies Posted January 13, 2017 Share #26065 Posted January 13, 2017 The exhibition of Leica cameras in Wetzlar is breathtaking. If only they weren't in glass boxes. And I couldn't resist taking some of the Hobby Fotograf himself Herr Leitz And finally Max Berek And then there is the long dark corridor where you get a glimpse of the inner sanctum....

mrckdavies Posted January 13, 2017 Share #26067 Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) So to my final few shots taken on this visit inside the Leica temple. I think these are the first sketches and ideas of the Ur Leica. Then a glimpse inside the factory floor. And some cameras. Henry one with soul and another with some strange interior? Hope you've enjoyed. I have a lot more from my first visit, but they are not film, and neither are these close-up, or shots in the dark. I hope you will forgive this last little series. Kind regards Christopher Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited January 13, 2017 by mrckdavies 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stray cat Posted January 13, 2017 Share #26069 Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) This fantastic! Very nice tones. Wonderful photograph. Brilliant tonality. Brilliant geometry, Philip. Very keen eye! Nioce, Steve. What film is this? infrared? From last Sunday... Magic Hour, Central Park, NYC SWC, Ektar central park winter magic hour.jpg Phil splendid Best Henry Thank you, sincerely, gnuyork, Adam and Henry - and to everyone who acknowledged my picture. Adam, your photograph of Magic Hour from Central Park NYC is absolutely stunning. Such beautiful colour and balance. As I think I've said before, I imagine the SWC is a very difficult camera to use effectively - in my opinion, not even Lee Friedlander has been able to get it right all that often - but you use it exceptionally well. Bravo! Edited January 13, 2017 by stray cat 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 14, 2017 Share #26070 Posted January 14, 2017 I thought the following could be of interest as it's about two Leica photographers who shoot film. The color photography that I've been particularly struck by is that of ioulex, a duo of a Russian woman an American man who met while studying at the Parsons School of Design in Paris. Working out of New York and Paris, they do commercial work in fashion, beauty and celebrity. As revealed in an interview on the Leica blog they love to shoot film with their M6 and M3 cameras. I saw this portrait of Isabelle Huppert in the New Yorker, and then did a web search and saw the exiting color work that they've done — I also like their black-and-white. Their work is highly creative, often with out-of-focus elements, wild colors and great fluidity — the sort of elements that often make other photographers throw away an image. I'm normally not interested in commercial photography of fashion/beauty/celebrity, but the remarkable thing is that the ioulex commercial work looks like it could be personal work. Here is another portrait of Isabelle Huppert as well as a double portrait here. You can see the broad range of their work on the ioulex website. Now to my own, more prosaic photography: below are two more shots using Portra 400 pushed 2 stops— I'd like to be able to do something more creative with color film in the direction of ioulex, but not sure how to get there. (Actually, I wish that my black-and-white work were edgier than it is — along the lines of, say, Michael Ackerman and Paulo Nozolino.)

They seem to make a pretty good complement to the rangefinder Leicas. This combo must bring back some great memories, and of course the photos... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
