LEICA M4-P Test shots (7 Feb 2011)

Bought a 2nd hand LEICA M4-P with Jupiter 50mm F2, test shots using Fujifilm Superia 200. Shots are taken without the use of lightmeter and a combination of shoot using viewfinder and waist-level shooting.

Lessons Learn
1. Camera must be loaded and ready at all times
2. Shooting thru viewfinder is too slow
3. Recording down the settings used for the previous shot is at the cost of missing another shot.
4. Lens cap is hindering
5. I need to improve in judging distance
6. Digital photography and lightmeters spoils your sensitivity to lights
7. Technical stuffs are for photographers, artists uses the "feel"
8. It's time to ditch DSLR.


Favourite shot of the day

Street shoot (5 Feb 2011)

Inspired to do street shoot after reading "‎101 Things I Have Learnt About Street Photography"... Tried to break away from the usual way of composing the picture through the viewfinder before pressing the shutter and only shoot from waist level. However, it is very difficult to kick that habit as there were still shots taken not from waist level. Also tried to resist the temptation to do post processing such as croppings as all shots are taken at 11mm.
