Although now, we think of that weirdos vegan cults flower worshiping and war hippies and the like, not the gangsta hip-hop rappers that we think of today. And actually what is very interesting, considering I was born in 1988, and grew up in the East Bay Alameda Oakland, Bay Area 510 rap hip-hop KEAK DA SNEAK, E40 hyphy movement ,,, my flavor of hip-hop and rap culture that I grew up was very different than the strange hip-hop culture today, and also a bit different from the mainstream 50 Cent gangsta idea that was popularized in the 2000s. Anyways, I think what is so fascinating to me about capital, digital capital, digital capitalism and the like is how insanely paradigm shift it is. ## Why? So the first question is… Why or why does this all matter? First, assuming you're a photographer, digital photographer etc.; what that then means is you and all of us we are all implicated! And I think this is a good thing; **digital is good, digital is better!** For example, besides what all these virtue signaling hipsters say, I really do think that **digital photography is 1 trillion times superior and now more virtuous than film**. I think film was a good fling, but now in the year 2024… And now that the new Lumix S9 Camera is out with the phenomenal 26 mm F8 pancake lens, there's almost 0 reasons to shoot film anymore. And zero reasons to shoot any loser Leica camera. ## Your opinion will change with technology and the times  Technology does matter; for example, in the past, it did make a difference. For example the original Leica M9 camera was a big deal at the time because full frame was simply too big, too bulky, not very accessible. At least in a small form factor. But now, in the year 2024 and beyond… **Technology has changed and shifted**. ## 2024 -- everything has changed! For example, for a long time, film photography did indeed look superior to digital photos. But now with new digital technologies, I would actually make the bold claim that digital photos with the right image processing filters, can actually look superior and *more supreme* to film photos.  For example, on the new Lumix S9 camera, we essentially have this “dynamic Leica monochrome” filter, with high contrast, grain added… the photos look phenomenal! Even deeper and richer contrast than my beloved Ricoh GR cameras? Even a random thing that I never really expected… there's this new “LUT” concept -- I think it's from cinema or video or something, which I think is just a fancy word for color preset or film grading for cinema and media. Anyways, one of the built-in included LUT filters is like this really lovely cross processing color filter which shifts and brings out this really lovely orange cyan hue -- the photos look beautiful! And also, when shooting 24 FPS video on it, it looks so beautiful and cinematic! **I call the new Lumix S9 baby Godzilla!**
Will A.I. kill photography? A.I.-generated images are reshaping politics, international relations, journalism, and beauty standards. But what about the impact on professional photographers? For German photographer Thomas Boenig, photography is a force that fuels his existence. Based in Nuremberg, Germany, Thomas is a freelance commercial and Leica street photographer. His clients range from Adidas, Puma, and Tesla to Universal Music. Thomas and Helen met back in 2012 in New York City when he was doing a project for Leica Camera capturing “decisive moments” with his Leica M9. Thomas is not only talented but also genuine and authentic which comes through in his striking photography, especially his portraits. Listen to the conversation as we discuss Thomas's first encounter with A.I. art on MidJourney, what he sees as threats from A.I. on the photography industry, and what aspects on set can never be replaced. You'll learn how skateboarding and his Leica rangefinder helped shape his commercial photography. We also cover his appreciation for beautiful imperfections, why he loves the craft so much, and his hopes for photography in the years to come. Don't miss this insightful, honest, and, at times, heartwrenching conversation on the future of photography and the evolving relationship between artists and technology.

I didn't read the rumors of the Leica M11 purposely before I went into the meeting with Leica. To that end, I was genuinely surprised as to what I saw and experienced. For one week, I had personal play-time with the Leica M11. And overall, this has to be the best Leica M digital camera yet. The company gave us a ton of versatility while also giving us the Leica M9's colors back. It's almost the perfect M-camera. But even better, you'll be very happy staring at the colors. You can view this article and much more with minimal ads in our brand new app for iOS, iPadOS, and Android. Editor's Note: This statement is from Leica: “All images were shot using a pre-production camera, so may not fully represent final image quality.” We were told that pretty much everything else is final. Table of Contents Too Long, Didn't Read Pros and Cons Pros Cons Gear Used Innovations Tech Specs Ergonomics Build Quality Ease of Use Focusing Metering Image Quality JPEG Quality RAW File Versatility High ISO Output Extra Image Samples Edited Unedited Conclusions Likes Dislikes Too Long, Didn't Read The Leica M11 is a fantastic camera that's basically three cameras in one. Shooting at 60MP gets you tons of details. At 36MP you'll get a balance of details and high dynamic range. At 18MP, you'll get a small RAW file and lots of dynamic range. It also feels great in the hand. But it's also time for Leica to think about true weather sealing, building in an EVF, and a new style of viewfinder. Pros and Cons Pros Leica M9's colors have returned! Extended dynamic range as the megapixels go down– Aluminum version and Brass version.– Brass version has some nice heft to it– Maybe it's just that my unit isn't busted but the viewfinder is wonderful– New Leica Fotos update– Integrated USB port for charging and all other applications like tethering– I'm assuming this is the Sony a7r IV's sensor, which is fine because the autofocus on that camera annoyed me. And Leica is giving this the M9's color, so I honestly can't complain. – If you have a lens that won't resolve this sensor then you can use the lower megapixel options. This is also the best camera I've used with the 7Artisans 50mm f1.1. At the highest resolution, this lens can resolve the sensor.– Editing the files even feels like Slide film!– Capture One does a slightly better job of editing the RAW files for dynamic range while Lightroom gets better colors; at least that's the case for the pre-production firmware version we've tested. Cons $8,999 I don't know how I feel about the removal of the traditional bottom plate. In Adobe Lightroom, the dynamic range isn't all that great at high ISOs. If you shoot like you're shooting slide film, this is just fine. But I can see how folks will think this is traditionally a “con” vs a “pro.” You lose a lot of dynamic range at high ISOs and 60MP settings. All of it comes back in droves at the lower megapixel settings Sunny 16 metering is a tad wonky. Gear Used We tested the Leica M11 with the: 7Artistans 50mm f1.1 Funleader Contax 35mm f2 Leica 35mm f2 Summicron-M Innovations This is the first camera with an internal 64GB storage that acts as a second SD card. But more than that, this is a camera that gets more dynamic range the lower the megapixels go. Otherwise, this is just a Leica M through and through. We're not sure if this is the Sony a7r IV's sensor, and Leica won't say where the sensor came from. But we can attest that they've actually done something to make it stand out. Tech Specs 60MP BSI CMOS Full Frame Sensor Maestro II processor 4.5 fps shooting Aluminum (530 grams with battery) or brass body (640 grams with battery) option ISO 64 to 6400 on the ISO dial Silver or Black Special IR + UV filter cut and placed onto the sensor, it's incredibly thin 2.3MP LCD screen on the back 64GB of internal storage memory Single SD card slot USB-C charging 3GB of buffer memory At lower resolutions, the dynamic range increases from 14 stop to 15 stops Multi-field metering Erg...
Ebben az adásban beszélgetünk egy fotópályázatról, ahol Hasselblad fényképezőgépet lehet nyerni. Peti aktfotózásról mesél, Benedek pedig szorgosan lövi Stockholm utcáit. Elmondjuk hogyan keresünk helyszínt és hogyan kezeljük a helyszíneken felmerülő problémákat.

What do you buy when you want it all? Today, Michael tells us not only about the new Nikon D300s he just picked up, but about all the swag he got to deck it out, Digital Photography Life style. Some of the things Michael added on were the enhanced battery grip, the enhanced Nikon battery for the camera, next generation NiMH rechargeable batteries with a truly space-age charger, and an external battery pack for his flash. It's all listed for you on www.scottsphotoblog.com. Of course, I can't blame Michael for upgrading his gear - I'm totally hot for the upcoming Canon 7D, which we talk about in some detail. Great specs - we can't wait to see if the output matches the camera's potential.We also discuss two high-end cameras coming out from Leica - the Leica M9 and Leica X1 - nice sounding gear, but with the price tags to match.For full show notes, links and your codes for terrific savings and free stuff from SmugMug, please visit www.scottsphotoblog.com.Thanks for listening!
