Advertisement Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 Hi nryn, Take a look here m8 for landscape photography. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Baxter Posted September 13, 2007 Share #142 Posted September 13, 2007 I tend to do my more considered landscape pictures on my 5x4, but the M8 is so portable, it does get out to play in the landscape on occasion! Selection from Cornwall. Busy beach scene is at same one (Sennen) as stormy shot - no ND grads on that sky either! Last one of St Michael's Mount taken by my friend's son receiving advice from the Godolphin Arms pub terrace whilst I enjoyed a couple of pints of Tribute. The immediate feedback enabled him to make very rapid progress and light the photography fire in him, exactly the same way it has for my 9 year old son. Noticed that Lightroom doesn't sharpen sufficiently when outputting for web. Something else to tinker with! Welcome, dear visitor!

Julius Bjornsson Posted September 13, 2007 Share #143 Posted September 13, 2007 Wow what a fantastic thread. A whole landscape exhibition. great work. I am happy to see that I am not mistaken when I feel that the M8 is the best landscape camera I have ever used. Here are a few from Iceland, some colorful mountains, lava and hot springs. All taken with 28 mm Elmarit-M Asp. All taken last week. Enjoy. Welcome, dear visitor!

dougdarter Posted September 13, 2007 Share #144 Posted September 13, 2007 hi friends,i was curious how the m8 would perform for landscape photography, so i took it as my only camera on a scotland trip a couple of weeks ago. in fact, i am very happy with the results, in particular with the 21mm leica lens. you can find samples in: scotland_2007 Photo Gallery by markowich at pbase.com all the best, peter Peter, your 'ring of Brodgar' is quite simply superb. It has one of the best monochrome skyscapes I have ever seen. Congratulations!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogberry Posted September 14, 2007 Share #150 Posted September 14, 2007 Hi Dave G I took this shot at a beach on Martha's Vineyard with an M8 and a Tele-Elmar 135/4. I love the stuff on your website - you're absolutely right about us having some photographic tastes in common. Best Gordon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ns_ng Posted September 14, 2007 Share #152 Posted September 14, 2007 Hi, During my last trip to the South Island, NZ, I brought along both my R8/DMR and M8. Some of the best photos were taken with the M8. I have posted some of these in the Photo Forum. If you are interested, have a look in the New Zealand Gallery, Zenfolio | N.S. Ng. For years I have travelled with both my R and M. But lately, the M8 has been my first choice because of its size and weight. Thanks, N.S. Ng Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olsen Posted September 14, 2007 Share #157 Posted September 14, 2007 And the M8 is good for 'night cityscapes' too. First from Nyhavn in Copenhagen, the second from the harbour of Helsinki. Both with WATE w/o filters. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

flavio Posted September 14, 2007 Share #158 Posted September 14, 2007 Hi guys, Congratulations! I am impressed by the quality of your pictures. I have rarely seen such a high quality in just few pages. Anybody did a comparative shoot between M8 and analog M? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olsen Posted September 14, 2007 Share #159 Posted September 14, 2007 Hi guys,Congratulations! I am impressed by the quality of your pictures. I have rarely seen such a high quality in just few pages. Anybody did a comparative shoot between M8 and analog M? Flavio, The obvious difference is the wider angles you get with an analogue Leica. Due to the crop factor of 1,33 of the M8. I have my MP lying about, but use it very little after the M8 came into the house. Pity really. There is this difference in file quality of a scanned neg compared to a file from a M8 that outweighs the crop factor issue. Ask instead of how the M8 stands up against other digitals. I have a 1Ds II, but still 2/3 of my shots are with the M8. The M8 is lighter and more discrete, and - as a friend of me pointed out; not so vulgar as the big D-SLR. - Culture, you know, Flavio. Attached is a picture from Kolding, Denmark. Most likely it is two sales agents from Phase One coming down the road there. We better run! Welcome, dear visitor!

Printmaker Posted September 14, 2007 Share #160 Posted September 14, 2007 The first was shot on my lanai (porch) with a 21 ZM, the second was from a beach a few miles down the road. Someone mentioned Long Beach Island, NJ. I grew up there in the 50s. Harvey Cedars. While I loved that island, I like my current island home better - Kauai. Tom Welcome, dear visitor!
