I’ve been wanting to use this lens for a while.
I’m still resisting it.
Ouch, it hurts.

Generally speaking, I dislike making digital look like film. If that was my goal, I’d just shoot film.
However, in light of the comment(s) that followed the first version of this image, I’m curious to know how this version is received. In addition to not-so-subtly adding grain, I subtly played with the contrast (both local and global). The end result is less perfect, but possibly more aesthetically pleasing.
You tell me.

This shot required the removal of my gloves… and I paid for it (I was not made for Canadian winters).
But it was worth it.

So a funny thing happened to me…
iPhone, Q&A, Teaching point… when I started a thread about My Open Letter to Leica in the Leica User Forum.
And yes, I violated Rule #8 of My Photography Truths again.
On a related note, let’s re-visit this previous post (just for fun).
