bruniroquai Posted February 3, 2015 Share #22 Posted February 3, 2015 Sorry A miller, I was thinking in the asph version. Anyway, stunning pictures. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A miller Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share #23 Posted February 3, 2015 No worries. Thanks a lot for making the comment. I haven't quite yet pinpointed the precise signature of this lens. It is good to hear feedback in this regard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl_valiquet Posted February 4, 2015 Share #29 Posted February 4, 2015 Thanks a lot, Carl. It was pretty nasty out there. Adam, when I see photographs taken by Salgado of the Nenets out in the cold with their reindeer, I think of the photographer who had to tackle the elements and sleep and photograph in those harsh conditions. You took some great images but first you had to go out there and freeze and «suffer» like those commuters. Well done. Photography makes us go out of our comfort zone, does it not?

A miller Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share #30 Posted February 4, 2015 Well put, Carl. As part of visualizing the experience in front of me, I took extra precautions such as stocking up on hand warmers and dressing in layers. The fact that I don't have to remove the film spool from my M-A (a I do with my M3, which isn't so much of a pain except in single digit weather) is a big luxury that helps a lot.

A miller Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share #32 Posted February 4, 2015 Thanks, Ben. I actually like the harsh weather b/c it preoccupies people with something other than me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert blu Posted February 4, 2015 Share #33 Posted February 4, 2015 It's an excellent series, all the pictures have something special in them for one reason or the other. My preference goes to n° 2, there is an almost surreal look in it. Bravo, and congrats for going out with such a bad weather. robert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A miller Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share #34 Posted February 4, 2015 Thanks, Robert. The second is interesting b/c is shows a row of people at a bus stop all with their backs facing me in order to avoid the harsh icy winds hitting their faces. It was great!

carl_valiquet Posted February 5, 2015 Share #35 Posted February 5, 2015 Well put, Carl.

The fact that I don't have to remove the film spool from my M-A (a I do with my M3, which isn't so much of a pain except in single digit weather) is a big luxury that helps a lot. Adam, on another note I was wondering what made you decide to use an MA instead of an M7 that has a light meter. I have recently «rediscovered» film and my M6 and I just love it. I did not know much about the MA before I saw your post. ( I am not good of keeping updated technically). The camera seems to be weather resistant like its owner! Question: do you carry a light meter with you? C* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A miller Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share #36 Posted February 5, 2015 Carl - I chose the M-A purely for personal non-substantive reasons. The only thing I like about the M7 is the ability to use a very fast shutter speed with flash (up to 1/1000), which I believe is unique to other film Ms. With the M-A, the max shutter is 1/50. This is a big deal for me, but the positives of the M-A (including not having to worry about electronics, about which I am a little jaded from my bad experiences with my MM and M9), outweighed those of the M7. Down the road, I still may snag one on the secondary market at the right price just for the high speed flash sync capability. I carry a small handheld meter to confirm exposure, which works just fine and is actually quite liberating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev Posted November 14, 2015 Share #37 Posted November 14, 2015 What a series. Fabulous work. I rarely get 'street'. But these are on a different level. Plenty to like, but #2 is my pick of the set. Kudos for taking your precious out in those conditions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
likalar Posted November 14, 2015 Share #38 Posted November 14, 2015 Excellent photography on many levels; sorry I missed these several months ago. Thanks, Trev for bringing them back into view. Adam, I can imagine the pleasure of scrolling thru the images and finding so many keepers. Fine work! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Trev for bringing them back into view. Adam, I can imagine the pleasure of scrolling thru the images and finding so many keepers. Fine work! Hey, thanks Trev and Larry. These never really get old and in fact I think will become more interesting with time. The second and last have been my "keepers" from this thread, and will form part of a series that I have assembled (and will continue to add to so long as there are snow blizzards in NYC ) and will be showing at the Leica store in Soho NYC later next year (some of the others are on my flickr page) I have made some wonderful analog silver gelatin prints of the second and last and find them to be (if I may say so) quite impressive. Thanks again and please keep an eye out for the next edition(s) later this winter Best, Adam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
