Leica M Monochrom: best pics

Michael, I like the Jeweller's shot!
Fabio, that's a great series, like especially the last shot and the Sax solo shot!

Here are a few form yesterday with some Konica love - I am going to stop down a little more than I used to - can't remember, when I used the Noctilux the last time - the Mono is poison for fast lenses ;-)

Have a great rest of a Sunday guys !!!
 
Thanks Dirk. "Man with dog" is my favourite of your last set, it stands out for me because of the guy's pose and the lighting, also beautiful shadows on the ground there.
"Angry poodle" is a fun shot - those shoes!

Michael, last two are great.

Agree about Dirk and Michael...
 
Thanks Fabio and Allen ;-)

Michael, that last shot with the performers in mid air is amazing!

Bruno, the first frame with young man and mobile phone at the cemetery get's me somehow. I am not that old, but recently the overall domination of peoples lives by their mobile phones really gives me the creeps.

Anyway - some more photos (I am liking the 21-35 Konica on the Mono a lot lately):

Fabio, I have a shot of your gingham shirted dapper gent taking coffee in Soho. What a character!

Great work Dirk, and to all, I am so enjoying this thread. Maybe the CaNikon communities would enjoy as much if they stopped worrying about their gear!

Not sure if anyone else went round London's Open House? I only managed City Hall, but here are 2.

@Michael (> "Fabio, I have a shot of your gingham shirted dapper gent taking coffee in Soho. What a character!") It's a small world. Occasionally I'd look at a photo and notice someone that I shot weeks or months before. Really like your second image. No Open House for me this year, sadly. But I'm planning to go out a few evenings again before it gets too dark for the Winter, make the most of the mild weather we seem to have now.

@Dirk and Dave: some very nice shots as usual, my overall favourites are 'boy climbing' and Dave's #1, something dark and somewhat mysterious about that shot that I can't quite pinpoint but is almost hypnotising.

And yes, this is *THE* thread.

Lovely contrast, Dave.

Continuing on the wide theme:

She's levitating.

Fabio thanks. I keep following your posts here, now with the Skopar 25, are you using an external vf? I used to handle the 24mm back in Nikon, it was a challenging FL to begin with, somehow I chose the 28 instead.

that city hall shot is great! Love the geometry going on here + a brilliant processing of the outdoor highlights against the indoor shadows, still preserving nice contrast (this is always a challenge when processing the Mono files, as you can easily end up with HDR~ish cartoons).

Nice symmetry in this one Fabio ;-)
 
Cheers guys. Dave, I use the 21-25mm Voigtlander metal viewfinder with the 25mm.

Re: 28mm, I occasionally use the Hexanon AR, but it's a big bulky and not the best handling out there (but I haven't been unhappy with the results, all things considered, for such a budget lens). The Elmarit 28mm ASPH is on the wishlist, I believe it should make a nice couple with the MM. I'd also like to try the 21mm eventually, but that's another story.
