The Pirate Weekend in Conwy – A Leica M Monochrom (Typ 246) Gallery

What’s not to like about a friendly bunch of pirates happy to be photographed? This past Sunday, Heather and I went back to Conwy for the Pirate Weekend, nearly a month after the Gran Fondo Conwy race. It consisted of two days of games, cannon fire demonstrations, music, food, and of course, lots of people appropriately dressed for the occasion. I thought that black and white could suit the pirate costumes well, so I brought along the new Leica Monochrom Typ 246, which I am currently reviewing.

Shallow depth of field in landscape photography – A Leica M 240 gallery

One of the basic rules of landscape photography is to use slow apertures to create a deep depth of field and ensure sharpness. If you use a fast aperture like f/4 or f/2.8, it can result in a blurry foreground or background depending on your focus distance and your camera’s sensor size. If you use a wide angle lens, the blurring effect may be less noticeable at first but is more perceivable if you view the image on a large screen or in print.

If you love photography, you probably have a favourite location where you like to go on a regular basis to take a picture. I am not talking about a far-off destination you might visit only once a year or less. I’m talking about a place that is close to home. You might pass by it everyday on your way to or from work or take a quick detour when you are five minutes away from your house. It is a place where you enjoy practising your daily photography.
