On The Loveliest Day In Washington’s History

Humid and hot it was not.  Sunny and bright and no humidity.  On a Saturday.  In June.  Some kids learned to escape what heat there was by running through water.

Other kids want to control the water.  It is, after all, Washington.  Leica M 50mm APO-Summicron-Asph.

People Taking Pictures Of People Painting

 

Leica M, 50mm APO-Summicron-Asph

Last week, when we posted pictures of the Cherrypalooza on the Mall, our friend Ted Leonsis posted on his blog “Ted’s Take” a link to Tulip Frenzy, entitled “Pictures of People Taking Pictures On The Mall.”  This is a picture of someone making a painting on the Mall, and we admire the artist’s skill.

If you have any question, though, about what a sharp combo the Leica M and 50mm APO-Summicron-Asph make, check out this 100% crop — and we mean really check it out via clicking on it.  We note the photo was taken using the rangefinder focus, not the EVF.

Holding Hands With Captain Adorable

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , on April 11, 2013 by johnbuckley100

Every once in a while a photo just comes together.  It’s easy to understand how this little girl caught our eye in the crowd, but that we were able to focus and capture her holding hands with Captain Adorable is an example not of skill but kismet.  Yeah, the dress makes the photo, but check out the dappled light and the soft background bokeh.  Leica M-240, the 50mm APO-Summicron-Asph, and a 3X ND filter, shot at f/6.8.  This is not what Joel Meyerowitz would call a “tough shot,” as anything with kids in it is, by definition, potentially sentimental.  But we love this shot.  Hope you do, too.
