Pages for Black and White with the Fuji X-Series Settings for Great Black and White with the Fuji X100s – Part I Settings for Great Black and White with the Fuji X100s – Part II (here) It’s a long time coming, but I wanted too finish the discussion I started…
In continuing with the celebration of 100 Years of Leica, I added this image to my collection. It was 28 degrees and I walked through downtown Rock Hill where my office is. The snow was beginning to fall again in what would later be almost a foot. For this part…
Admittedly, I live in the south. But, I grew up in the mountains and I love a good snow in the winter. I would not call our first snowfall ‘good’, but some is better than none for photography! The snow started very late in the day and was a…
Almost sounds like a tongue-twister, huh? This particular shot drew me because the lights from the overhang on the York County Chamber light up the sidewalk even when it’s still dark outside. If you’ve been watching my photography over the last year, you know that I have been concentrating on…
The monochrom is a joy to use no matter the occasion. In fact, it sits in my bag next to my fully loaded Leica MP. But something my black and white film work lacks that the Monochrom fills nicely is night shooting. Some refer to night shooting as long exposures…

I still like to shoot film when I know I will be able to find the time to develop it, scan it, archive it and then enjoy it. I was with our Boy Scout troop in Charleston during October and finally found the time to develop and scan. All of…
I spent a week at the Outer Banks of North Carolina with extended family. I shot over 800 images using only two lenses – a Voiglander Nokton 50mm f/1.5 (newest version) and a Leica M 28mm ASPH f/2.0. The next few articles will be some reflections and experiences on this…
Storm clouds are a great opportunity for photography. I’ve said before that the exposure is key to being a great photographer. Well, storm clouds offer some of those challenges. For starters, the dynamic range inside the cloud is very wide. Where the sun pokes through is extremely bright and easy…
First, forgive me for the pun as you will see. A good friend of mine (and much better photographer) sent me a critique of some recent photos and made some comments that stuck with me. He said that many people today are so caught up in the dynamic range of…
