It’s always good to be out on a workshop, even when it’s stormy. Today I had a great Leica workshop with a talented student from Amsterdam. We practiced focusing techniques, reviewed work from the last years and spent some time on exposure. This picture almost looks like a scene from Star Wars. With the Noctilux, […]

Coming up: the Leica 28/2.8 Elmarit-M ASPH
I’m currently going through hundreds of pictures that I took with the Leica Elmarit-M 28/2.8 ASPH lens. A true gem! For now a shot with the little 28. Who said you can’t take portraits with this lens?
Exploring the Leica R range
With my recently acquired Leica SL, a complete ‘new’ range of lenses becomes interesting for me. With the M240, live view was never good enough to use R lenses, at least, not if you wanted to have fun while working. The M10 offers a much more pleasing live view, but the combination of the (even […]
One more reason to keep your Leica M8
Some time ago I gave you 8 reasons to buy a Leica M8. Today, I give you one more. There are only a few things in life that make me happier than working with a Leica M. Ice skating is one of them. On average, I visit the local ice track three to four times […]
Happy 2017!!
Happy 2017 to all my readers! Thanks for reading this last year and I hope that 2017 will bring more Leica stuff. At least we get a new M, so it will be good. One more practical thing: I’ve received some emails from readers that they never got one of my newsletters, even though they […]
Rent a Leica M9… for free
Today I came across a very interesting project. Paul Ripke, a German photographer, has been working with a Leica M9 since 2012. He has been documenting his travels with this marvelous camera (I don’t need to tell you, right?), but after he while he thought:”Why not give other the pleasure to work with this camera?” […]
Continuous light
I had the chance to play with a Hedler LED continuous light set. It’s funny what you can do with these things and I like the ‘what you see is what you get’ thing. I might elaborate a bit more on this. Leica M240 with 50/0.95 Noctilux and Hedler Profilux LED 1000X
The Beauty and the Leica X-U
As I’m working on my article for Digifotopro Magazine, this is one of the pictures that made it to the selection. I took it on our first day of paddling throough Glaskogen Reserve in Sweden. We had a warm day, even though it was only May yet, and my wife took a swim in the […]
From Mora with love
I’m working on an article for a dutch photography magazine. That means going through a big pile of images that I shot during our five months canoeing and hiking trip. Although this picture didn’t make it to the selection, I thought it’d be nice to share it with you. Leica M9 with Zeiss 35/2.8
Almost home again
There has been less articles and reviews in the last few months than you are used to. In two weeks, we’ll be home again and I’ll start working on new Leica oriented content. While you wait for this, please enjoy this 16 second exposure of my tent in the middle of Rogen, one of the […]
