Leica 50mm Summilux ASPH f/1.4

The tree cloud.

The light was gorgeous and the clouds were perfectly placed to make this composition harmonious.

Something not readily apparent in this image: it was very windy (look carefully at the leaves).  I took a second image a few moments later and promptly deleted it… the clouds had already shifted.

Surprisingly, he paused for a moment, allowing me one attempt to get the shot before he moved on.

Q&A: My lenses.

2012, Inspiration, Leica 50mm Summicron f/2, Leica 50mm Summilux ASPH f/1.4, Q&A, Voigtländer 40mm f/1.4 Nokton

One of the more frequent email questions I receive is:

What lenses do you use?

Most of the time, it’s easy to tell if you follow my daily posts, because I list the specific lens (and camera) used beneath each image.

However, I’ve been known to frequently re-jig my set-up — as I’ve done recently.

So, currently, I’m using:

1. The Leica 50mm Summilux ASPH.

2. The Leica 50mm Summicron.

3. The Voigtländer Nokton 40mm.

And…

If you want to view images taken with any of the equipment I’ve ever used, you can search for specific lenses in the Category Cloud.  It looks like this:

You can find it on the bottom of the page…

Just click on a specific category (link) and all the images associated with it will be displayed.

Hope that helps,
