Did Not Succumb

Porto, Portugal

I had some great sardines in Duoro Valley, outside of Porto but did not partake in this well-marketed tourist trap in Porto's city center.

New Chicago Landmark

Tail end of a great meet-up with Beers & Cameras-Chicago celebrating the grand opening of a Leica Store in Chicago.  A great addition for the photography community.

Bounce

52 Frames - Week 19 - Slow Shutter

Working off last week's Fast Shutter challenge, I wanted to create a similar scene using slow shutter. Tripod-mount kept the camera steady and a 6-stop ND filter allowed for the long exposure.  Wind gusts created the bounce.

Bling

Chicago, IL

Walking around before the Beers & Cameras-Chicago Leica Store event trying to get some zone focus practice on the new camera.  Quick snap and a crop reveals some good phone bling and nails.  Can you guess what her other hand was holding?

Introverts

Chicago, IL

Walking around before the Beers & Cameras-Chicago Leica Store event trying to get some zone focus practice on the new camera.  Caught the eye of another photographer...and neither of us stopped to chat.
