| Digital Leica M8 / M8.2 / M9 / M-E /Mono / M10 aka "M" Discussions about the Leica M8 /M 8.2 / M9 / M9-P/ M-E / M Monochrom / M10 aka "M": Leica digital M mount rangefinder cameras. Naming the new digital M the "Leica M" is VERY unfortunate as it will only confuse newbies with other Leica M cameras of the the past. Happily there is room for confusion with only the past 59 years of Leica M production ... since Leica introduced the Leica M system in 1953. All Hail for the Leica Marketing Department learning Leica M history! |

M9 and Broncolor in Ethiopia. (2 images)
Hey Gang,
I was lucky enough to be featured on the Bron Imaging Blog (formerly Broncolor) recently regarding my visit to Ethiopia this last March into April.
You can find the link here and more images can be found at the link to my Flickr set at the end of the Blog post:

Here are two additional snaps that were taken later when I was out of the Omo:

Very Impressive! I'm a long-term Broncolor User, myself. All my studio stobes are Broncolor. None finer.

Thanks Nok48 and DrG.
Yeah, I was amazed by the toughness of the Bron kit. I watched my Pelican-like case bounce around the back of the 4x4 for hours on end over really, really tough roads. The strobe fired every time I plugged in.

Beautiful work. Do you do any post production work on your photos?
Do you love your M9?

The photoshop treatment is too much over the top for my taste.

I think they're very nice, especially that first shot of the boy with the flowers on his head, but I told you that on Flickr already.
The processing on some can be a bit on the edge of what seems natural, for example the second photo here, his face kind of gets lost in the high contrast of the rest of the shot.

Renszu thanks man. I really agree with you about the second shot. I work with Layer Masks all the time so that should be no problem addressing. Thanks again!

Wonderful work! I particularly liked the one of the kids jumping into the river, caught in mid-air. That one stopped me in my tracks.

Very nice - esp that first one. That dark background just makes his face pop out. Good job.

Wonderful shots, and use of a strobe in situations I'd never have imagined. I'm always thinking 'travel light, leave that extra lens behind', so the thought of you lugging that strobe into what I guess are pretty inaccessible places is a bit of a wake up! Some of these shots have a real classic look to them. Is it just me or is there just a hint of kodachrome to them - esp the second shot in this thread? Anyway, fantastic shots!
