Genre Detour 2

This was an inadvertent omission in yesterday's post of images photographed at Arbor Theatre Park in Vernon Hills, IL on August 9, 2025.  Same camera but a manual Voigtlander 40mm F2.8 Heliar lens (adapted) instead.

Out Of Context

Genre Detour

Landscape is not my normal genre of photography, but it's good to get out and mix it up every once in awhile.

These were all photographed at Arbor Theatre Park in Vernon Hills, IL on August 9, 2025 using a Sony A7Cii digital camera and a manual 1948 vintage Leica 50mm F2 Summitar lens adapted to the digital camera.

Take Refuge...

Rain or shine, you're covered.  And the woman in the last photo was not taking any chances.

These were photographed at Old Orchard on August 5, 2025 using a 1973-1974 vintage Leica CL camera loaded with Kodak Ultramax 400 film and a 1948 vintage Leica 50mm F2 Summitar lens.

My macro lens is a 50mm F2.8 Sony and I used it to shoot this 50mm F2 Leica Summitar, a lens manufactured in 1948 that I'm thinking about adding to my collection of M-mount lenses.

Not a great quality photo but it was more important to capture the scene than fiddle with settings. Taken through a storefront...Lightroom reflection removal works.
