Passing. #Leica M Monochrom

Two young men pass each other on the stairs, one staring out into space and the other jogging up stairs at speed.

Thanks! I really love the textures I seem to get from shooting with this Monochrom.

Shoe pole. #Leica M Monochrom TTartisan 50mm

Several old shoes, nailed to a telegraph pole along the side of a road, shot on digital in B&W.

After the rain. #Leica M Monochrom TTartisan 50mm

A shallow focus digital B&W shot of a bush, with rain visible on the leaves, stretching out to the lightly out of focus background.

Passing. #Fujifilm X-T50

A photo from one train passing another late at night. The shot is in washed out colour and shows the only woman visible in the carriage, glancing across into the other train. Reflected in the window is the photographer, a woman with red hair looking through the viewfinder of the camera.

Long term parking. #Leica M Monochrom

A Volvo station wagon parked in the edge of some shade, absolutely covered in leaves. It is just touched by the sunlight and the rest of the shot spills into darkness.

Bike. #Leica M Monochrom

Black and white shot of a bike parked by some street art the back of an abandoned lot. In the distance some new apartment complexes are visible.

Industrial nomads. #Leica M Monochrom

Black and white shot of two guys figuring out how to get where there going. Tons of street art dots the light industrial buildings near them. They stand in sunlight.

Well it's a lot more crisp than I've ever gotten home-developing film, even very fine grained. But that's partly the quality of my scanner, I'm sure.

Honestly, I love using it. There's a detail that's almost surreal in some shots. I also like that I'm never second-guessing myself on shooting something digital or B&W - I have no choice.

For a ten year old camera, it's also surprisingly good at low light. Without the colour layer, its base ISO is 320 and it goes pretty high. 24 megapixels too, which is very good indeed even if I wanted to do some prints.

A grainy B&W wide shot of the Queen Victoria Building in Sydney, Australia. The shot is from the top of the building, looking down at about 45 degrees. People walk about the various stores, storefronts and signage just visible in the sides. A clock looms over it all.
