I took a picture of a small Santa figurine yesterday, but left my camera at home (we’re at the in-laws’ for the holidays.) So this post is a placeholder for PAD #92 until we’re back home

The first snow of the year! While it was enough to make snowballs, it didn’t last long, and today most of it was gone again. After an overcast day, the sky cleared up yesterday evening, and I was able to take a picture of this beautiful winter sunset.  Leica M8 + Heliar 15/4.5 @ f/8, 1/90 sec, ISO 160 I think I’ll have to try using the Heliar without the UV/IR filter, it always gets the corners messed up despite using a Tri-Elmar lens profile at the 16mm setting. Visiting friends yesterday. I didn’t really find an opportunity to take pictures, until I saw this candle holder. Goes nicely with my latest wintery-christmassy theme  Olympus E-P1 + Lumix 20/1.7 @ f/1.7, 1/8 sec, ISO 200 Since I could rest the camera on the table, i set the ISO to 200. The auto mode would probably have selected 1/80 sec @ ISO 2000. Duh. P.S.: It started snowing early this morning, and when we got up everything was white. I shall see if I can’t capture some of that winter spirit for today’s PAD! We visited the christmas market again yesterday — this time without Emil’s stroller, which made navigating through the crowds a lot easier! I took a lot of pictures, but this is one of my favourites. The booth was selling illuminated paper stars in all sizes and colours.  Olympus E-P1 + Lumix 20/1.7 @ f/1.7, 1/125 sec, ISO 200 More pictures to follow! Distant city lights, with different brightness, in different colours, and a car passing by — maximally blurred by a wide-open Zeiss 50/2 Planar focused @ .7 metres.  Leica M8 + Planar 50/2 @ f/2, 1 sec, ISO 160 |
