As it inevitably happens with any new camera, Leica M10 spawned countless internet debates regarding its abilities. Some like it unconditionally, others suggest that it is just an incremental upgrade of an M240 model. Yes indeed, M240 is so good that within its normal operating range it is hard to […]
I have worked with classical dancers for a few years and learned a few things that you might find very useful. Like, for instance, how to get a shot like the one below. At first it may seem unthinkable: getting on stage during a live full-house performance is not something […]

We were shooting in Detroit Greektown, and for a change, I wanted to use my Broncolor Mobilite portable […]
