Trying Infrared photography I have never really paid much attention to IR photography before. I have seen some black-and-white work with IR cameras, but I never liked it all that much, especially when compared to film. Black-and-white film is just way...
Week 2 with the Leica M This week will be a simple test week, weather and COVID permitting. I took my weekly COVID test yesterday, so I should be allowed to travel within the city and shoot some photos. This week’s goal with the Leica M10 will be testing...
