Advertisement Posted January 10, 2023 Posted January 10, 2023 Hi SrMi, Take a look here Caroline Fink - Landscapes of the Alps. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Franka373 Posted January 10, 2023 Share #2 Posted January 10, 2023 Very nice. What was the eye piece she was using on her M? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
darylgo Posted January 10, 2023 Share #3 Posted January 10, 2023 "All of this combined makes it the perfect camera for the mountains." @SrMi Thanks for posting this. I haven't seen Leica promote the rugged use of the M nearly as often it's use for street....or it seems. Glad to see them recognize this, the images posted on the forums show quite wide-spread use for landscape, the lenses excel as does the small body size.

RexGig0 Posted January 21, 2023 Share #5 Posted January 21, 2023 Thanks for posting this. It is a beautiful presentation. (I am subscribed to this you-tube channel, but, probably would not have noticed it for some time.) I was not familiar with Christine Fink’s work, and appreciate how she uses a 35mm lens in alpine terrain. I live far enough from any true mountains, that I have not yet extensively tested the use of a 35mm prime lens’ field of view in steep terrain.

Glad to see them recognize this, the images posted on the forums show quite wide-spread use for landscape, the lenses excel as does the small body size. Oskar Barnack, while working for Leitz, developed the concept of the small, portable 35mm film camera, for hiking into the mountains. An asthmatic, he could not carry the larger film cameras, of that time, in steep terrain, due to his asthma. This is very much part of Leica’s formerly-much-promoted back story, but, as you have indicated, not much a part of Leica’s recent advertising.

Einst_Stein Posted January 21, 2023 Share #7 Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) What enlightening me is her exposure. My first response was it’s too dark. But immediately I realized that perfectly recorded the setting and the environment and the real beauty she was experiencing. That is the view she was seeing, and what we see what she saw. Obvious the video was done by someone else , but it perfectly matches her vision, I guess it was directly by her as well. A wonderful lesson to me.

Is it clear to a German? I could speak and work in German many years ago (and I still happily sing in German), but not well enough now. However, I could recognise that the sound of her speech was softer and more (?) flowing than the German I was used to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Swiss German dialect is a collection of distinct dialects spoken in German part of Switzerland. Germans can have problems understanding it. Even Swiss may have difficulty understanding it unless they are from the area where it is spoken. I am always happy when I hear it again. For those who lived there long enough, the dialects are closely related to the country's landscape. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
