Aspens In Death Canyon
Posted in Uncategorized with tags 28mm Summicron, Death Canyon, GTNP, Leica M on July 18, 2015 by johnbuckley100It seems like most landscape photographers, from Ansel Adams to Henry Holdsworth, have their shots of aspen groves. There is something about their uniformity, vulnerability, the fluttering leaves, the marks on the lower trunks that look like eyes, that hold photographers in thrall. Most of these shots are in black and white, and in winter, to showcase the contrast between white and black. And sometimes we see a grove of aspens in the summer, and it Is colorful, and we put the viewfinder to our eye. Leica M, 28mm Summicron, Death Canyon in Grand Teton National Park.
Color Wins, Sometimes
Posted in Uncategorized with tags 50mm APO-Summicron-ASPH, 75mm APO-Summicron-Asph, Jackson Hole, Leica M, Leica Monochrom (Typ-246), monochrome on July 17, 2015 by johnbuckley100We had great fun out West principally using the Leica Monochrom (typ-246) to capture images of Jackson Hole in black and white. Every once in a while, though, a natural experiment takes place where we come across an image we took in color that is virtually the same as what was captured in black and white. Monochrome has stopping power, timelessness. Ah, but sometimes color nails it. You be the judge.
That’s the way our M-240 caught the sunset underneath the Sleeping Indian, with the 75mm APO-Summicron-Asph. And this is the way our Monochrom caught it with the 50mm APO.
We thought the black and white image was nice enough to print. But we now believe color wins here, hands down. Yes, you do not need a monochrome-only camera to make such experiments, but as readers of Tulip Frenzy know, we like the idea of deliberately going out to take monochrome-only images. This time, though, we’re glad we brought along the M.
