Thanks Paul. Nice story.

"Sorry just an (important) afterthought. The AF on the Q is incredibly quick compared to the X-Pro2. I shot this with an aperture of f/5.6 on the Q. I was standing next to the gamekeeper’s car talking to him holding my camera at chest height. His dog jumped from the back seat onto his lap and stuck his head through the window. I lifted the camera hit back button focus and triggered the shutter in less than a second. I barely had time to think about it. I completely trusted to the AF and it was bang on.”

LEICA M10-P “ASC 100 Edition” The M for cinematographers

With the M10-P “ASC 100 Edition”, Leica has created a fitting tribute to the world of cinema on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the American Society of Cinematographers.

Founded in 1919, the American Society of Cinematographers is the world’s oldest association for filmmakers, and unites the best cinematographers of our times. Just like Leica, this extraordinary society based in Hollywood has influenced and shaped the way people of all cultures see the world for more than 100 years. In February 2019, the ASC will be presenting its prestigious awards for the 33rd time – an ideal occasion during which to present an exclusive tool for filmmakers: the Leica M10-P “ASC 100 Edition”.

Garry Winogrand: All Things are Photographable OFFICIAL TRAILER

Artist. Iconoclast. Man of his time. Garry Winogrand was the epic photographer of 20th century American life.

Garry Winogrand: All Things are Photographable is the first documentary film on the life and work of acclaimed photographer Garry Winogrand – the epic storyteller in pictures of America across three turbulent decades. Decades before digital technology transformed how we make and see pictures, Garry Winogrand made hundreds of thousands of them, creating an encyclopedic portrait of America in the process. When he died suddenly at age 56 in 1984, Winogrand left behind more than 10,000 rolls of film – more than a quarter of a million pictures! Forged by his own words and images, Garry Winogrand: All Things are Photographable is a stunningly intimate portrait of a man who both personified his era and transformed it.

Doisneau e Bresson são considerados os fotógrafos mais populares da França de todos os tempos.

With Photokina 2018 only about one month away (the massive industry trade show begins September 26), Leica has revealed a pleasant August surprise with the announcement of the M10-P. An upgrade to the hugely successful M10 digital rangefinder, the M10-P gives users a few great new features along with traditional “P” model styling cues. We just got the M10-P in hand yesterday and have a full breakdown of the changes and improvements.

Andreas Jorns. Leica Noctilux-M 1:1,25/75 asph. – ein Erfahrungsbericht

Wie schreibt man einen Erfahrungsbericht über ein Objektiv, das mehr kostet als viele Kleinwagen? Insbesondere wenn man keine Ahnung hat vom Testen eines Objektivs. Und das irgendwie auch gar nicht mag – dieses Schreiben über Technik und so. Kann ich nicht. Will ich nicht. In etwa so habe ich reagiert als ich vor einigen Wochen das Angebot von Alexander Görlitz, Inhaber von Foto-Görlitz, bekam, das neueste Leica M-Objektiv für 2-3 Wochen zu testen und im Gegenzug einen kleinen Erfahrungsbericht für seine Webseite zu schreiben. Da er mich und meine Ansichten zur Fotografie durch meine Blog-Artikel wohl ein wenig zu kennen scheint, hat er gleich dazu geschrieben, dass ich nichts Technisches schreiben muss – einfach nur meine Eindrücke garniert mit ein paar Beispielfotos.

Acabei de receber da minha correspondente na França Cath Chevalier Larroque, a edição especial da revista "Le Nouvel Observateur" sobre o mestre Henri Cartier-Bresson, publicada em 2014. A publicação traz histórias sobre HCB contadas por Raymond Depardon, Sebastião Salgado, Josef Koudelka, Pierre Assouline, Peter Galassi, Serge Toubiana, entre outros. Depois de ler tudo, prometo repassar pra vocês as histórias mais interessantes.
