The Choir Solo.

My Nikon D500 has been hospitalized :(
Inspiration, Q&A, Teaching pointAfter one year of flawless performance, my Nikon D500 is in need of repair…

Fortunately it’s still under warranty.
But…
Tonight was the night of my son’s choir solo!
So, I loaded my Leica M3 with this:

Yes, my Leica M3 + Undisclosed Lens #1 + ASA (ISO) 1600 Fujifilm.
Next week, I’ll have the roll developed and scanned.
Fingers crossed!

Vaseline – Test Shot.
Film, Inspiration, Kodak Tri-X 400, Leica 50mm Summilux ASPH f/1.4, Leica M3, Print, Q&A, Scanner - Plustek 8200iPeople sometimes write and ask me how I test a given Leica lens + rangefinder combination for focus accuracy.
Well, for near distances I trust the good people at Vaseline.
On a related note, I dislike the grunt work of testing film equipment. The arduous process of developing and scanning film seems even more arduous when the test results are off. That is why I rarely sell gear that I know is working well (ha, ha…).
Fortunately, this time everything looks good.

Restoring old photographs 1, 2, and 3.
2018, Favourite, Inspiration, Q&A, Teaching pointThese photos have been in my wife’s family for decades but they have begun to discolour, fade, and disintegrate.
So, yesterday I tried my hand at digitally restoring them.
Technique:
- My wife photographed the original prints with her Sony RX100
- I processed the files in Lightroom.
My goal was not only to restore them, but to preserve the integrity/intent of the original images, by not altering them in any significant way.
—Peter.
