San Diego Comic-Con Slideshow.

Below is a slideshow of images contained within my new book: People Of The Convention: Comic-Con 2011

Yay new glass!

35mm Zeiss ZM Biogon came in today, I'm using it at comic-con (later post, I have to edit down for my book first) but I figured I'd share some of the pictures I've taken with it while out and about the last few days.

Street Shooting in Balboa with the M9!

Today I spent an hour or so photographing an (unfortunately) fairly empty Balboa Park. This is the first time I have really worked the M9 hard, and it acted EXACTLY like a Leica film M. I set 125th @ 400 ISO and worked the aperture ring with my trigger finger as I shot and it worked out beautifully. There is adequate latitude for exposure due to the range captured by the sensor, which seems to be slightly more picky than E-6 slide negs! All of these were either shot with a 25mm Voigtlander Skopar or a 40mm Leitz Summicron.










After Balboa Park I met my parents and their friends for dinner, at the post office I picked up the Zeiss Biogon that came in the mail for me today. It's tack sharp. This was shot hand held: 25th @ F2, 400 ISO

General photos from the last few days with the new camera.

Random photos from the weekend...

California Coast Roadtrip Complete!

Just got all my C41 negs back from the lab at George's Camera. All of these are shot on either a Leica M3 or M6, I just love rangefinders. Here are a few that I really like:













This is one of the 120mm shots I took during the trip; Hasselblad 500 C/M w. Zeiss 150mm Sonnar:





Below is a gallery of the film I shot during the SF Pride parade. I was shooting with a relatively shallow depth of field due to my film speed for a bit, the grainy shots are with Superia 1600 as I felt I needed to drastically up my speed to be able to keep a wide enough depth of field for street photography:

Alcatraz+Big Sur.

Thought I'd share a few digital shots from the trip so far, I've got a TON of film to process when I get back to San Diego, and will be editing the selections down, editing those photos, then trickling them out onto the blog.

Big Sur- Nikon D7000 with 11-16mm lens on it. The last shot before the body died...


All Alcatraz photos are off the Olympus EPL-1 with a 1960's Leica Summicron lens mounted on it. Check out that classic bokeh on the first shot!
