Last week I had another fantastic wedding in Amsterdam. When the couple left the venue, the guests had arranged a fantastic goodbye on a small boat. While someone was singing a lovely song, everybody waved the couple goodbye and the groom kissed his bride. Just magical. Leica M240 with 35 cron

Tuesday Travel: Somewhere in Rotterdam
Sometimes you don’t need to travel that far to see new things. Leica M240 with CV 40/1.4
Cheating
OK, you may not like this, but sooner or later you will find out anyway. I’ve been cheating lately. Yes, I admit it. On a more serious note. We needed a camera for video work and I wanted it to work flawlessly with my Leica lenses. Since the video mode on the M240 is not […]
Wednesday wedding pic: getting ready for a dance
Lose the high heels, tie your comfy All Stars and move to the dance floor… Leica M240 with CV 35/1.2 (the lens that’s always pretty when the light is sh*tty)
Tuesday Travel: Pedro
This is Pedro from Puerto Natales in Chile. He has a tiny shop where he sells two gas canisters (no, not two types, just two canisters) a few second hand bike parts and three post cards. We had a nice conversation and talked about tourism in his village. Then he pointed at the wall behind […]
Wednesday wedding pic: the foreground
A lens is more than sharpness and bokeh. The way it renders a scene and how it renders out of focus elements in the foreground is just as important. By the way: using elements in the foreground is tricky with a rangefinder, because of the parallax. More about that later… Leica M240 with 50 summicron
Tuesday travel: canoeing in Friesland
The Netherlands is a small and crowded country, but if you’re looking for some quiet time in the outdoors, the canoe is the way to go. We’ve been paddling for four days and only met a few other boaters. FYI: you’ll be hearing more about canoeing on this website pretty soon… Leica M8 with CV21/4 […]
Wednesday wedding pic: work in progress
Sometimes it takes four or five persons to get the bride to look like how she wants. And usually it’s chaos and there little room to move around. I love this part of the wedding. It’s just hilarious, but also very serious. Leica M240 with 35 summicron
Tuesday Travel: colors down under
I’m not sure where I took this shot exactly – that’s why a GPS module can be convenient – but it was somewhere in a mall in Sydney. I like the perspective and the colors. Leica M9 with 35 summicron
A Santorini wedding
Last year Hector signed up for a Leica Masterclass and we had a great day shooting and practicing focus skills. A few months later he asked me if I’d be interested to shoot his wedding on Santorini. Fortunately, I had a few days left in July, so I said yes. It took me three planes to […]
