    The blog post titled “The crack-cocaine of the Leica world” is a short article analyzing a street photograph taken in San Francisco with a Leica M8 camera and a Cosina-Voigtlander NOKTON 35mm F1.2 Aspherical lens. The author describes how a trip to the bank machine turned into an opportunity to see and photograph the city, specifically Fisherman’s Wharf, North Beach, Chinatown, and the Financial District. The photograph that accompanies the blog post is of a sidewalk dining scene in North Beach and features a waitress in a sunlit area and a foreground in the shade.

    The post-processing of the photograph was done mostly to recover the dynamic range of the shot. The shot was only 0.5 degrees from level. The author briefly touches on the importance of street photography and how it can capture a moment in time and provide insight into the culture and environment of a place. The author ends the post by encouraging readers to view and appreciate the original image and to contact the author if they cannot access it.

    The Leica camera, a high-end brand with a cult following in the photography world, has often been compared to the addictive nature of crack cocaine. Its loyal following encompasses both professional and amateur photographers alike who appreciate its high-quality craftsmanship and unique features.

    One such feature is its rangefinder-style focusing mechanism, which allows for a different approach to photography compared to traditional autofocus systems. This allows photographers to better see and understand the depth and composition of the scene they are capturing.

    The Leica M8, used in the photograph above, is a popular model among enthusiasts. The photographer, while on a trip to the bank, used it to take a photo of an old lady in Chinatown. He opted for a sharp/soft look in black and white processing and vignetted the image to reduce corner sharpness.

    While the price tag of a Leica camera may be steep, often reaching upwards of several thousand dollars, it is a popular choice due to its reputation for quality and unique features not found in other brands. Its fans call it a tool that allows for a more intimate connection with photography.

    In the end, whether the Leica is truly the “crack-cocaine” of the photography world or just a tool for passionate photographers who want to elevate their craft, it is undeniable that it has left its mark on the industry.

    It all started off when I made a snide comment about how sipping her tea helps make her appear retarded in shots.

    Taking pictures notes: Strangely, the only time I got the focusing correct with this camera was when Marie was creating mad faces. Calculated depth of area is 3/4 of an inch.

    Processing notes: This is me submit-processing the shades to make it look like Ryan took the picture. -)

    The lens cap for the rear ingredient of the 18-55 VR kit lens is a lot more cheaply created than standard for Nikon (it is the exact a person equipped with the 50mm f/1.8). But it has a second, solution use. You can use it as a ambient white balancer.

    I analyzed this utilizing PRE white balance (you have to use the menus, not details to established) on a Nikon D5000.

    Shooting notes: I truly white well balanced the photograph applying the same trick on my E-P2. However, the lighting was so terrible, no detail is recoverable at ISO 2500.
