Not ALL My Photos are HDR

I do love HDR, and most of my photos are HDR, but I also like the more traditional type of photos that I have posted this week...I opened up my 35mm to f2 for this shot. The Leica is at its best when shot wide open...

I attended an Adobe seminar yesterday (the reason I had no time to post a photo yesterday). It was very interesting! I was most intrigued by the newly released Acrobat 10. I had no idea you could do such cool things with PDF's. We were shown how to produce a magazine or ebook for the ipad which I am very interested in doing. It was not easy, and the technology that was shown is not readily available yet, and still in beta format, but it was cool!!

Have a great weekend!!

The Yellow Wall

It was late in the afternoon, and this was my last shot of the day...

Fire In The Pit

Just got back from a 4-day trip to China. I had a good buddy that moved to Shanghai, so a few of us flew to Hangzhou (near Shanghai) to visit him. We had a great time, as usual.

I brought with me an old Leica 35mm Summicron lens (borrowed from a good friend), and it never left my camera. I loved using that lens. I thought I liked the 50mm better, but I found I could use the 35mm for most any situation. Many times, the 50mm is too long (believe it or not), but the 35mm could be used for wide angle stuff as well as people shots, so I think it is the perfect lens for the Leica. If you are thinking of getting a Leica, and can only afford one lens, get the 35mm.

Below is one of the temples we visited. At first, seeing all the crowds, I was reluctant about going in, but I am sure glad I did. It was amazing!!
