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…

First, you should know that this article is not meant to be a test or a full comparison. I’m working on some more scientific results related to the X1 and the new Leica X2 (when it arrives!). However, I shot a few sequences at an ISO of 1600 as was…
