These are great, although I have a strange slight nagging feeling that the second, fourth and fifth are lacking something. Can’t quite put my finger on it, though.
So it’s not just me that thinks that? Focus is fine, exposure is good but there just seems to be something missing.
I just got home from 3 great days with Leica in Venice attending a workshop with Alex Bronfer and Marc De Tollenaere. Alex has a very artistic approach to photography, very different than mine. This is really why I went to learn new things. Which I did. I had to give his methods a try, now I am off to a shower and bed. Tomorrow, I am off to Milan for the official grand opening of the new Leica Flagship Store there. In the meantime here is a very different image I shot this morning of a boat in the beautiful Venice fog we had every morning this week, and spent a few minutes editing when I got home. I will get better at it.
We were restricted to shooting M11 and 35mm Sumilux all week.
San Servolo, which is the island we stayed a for the Leica event is a historical and old former insane asylum. Some spooky stuff still remains. But it has been beautifully restored and converted to a meeting place with conference rooms, hotel, and restaurants, and University of Venice classrooms and dorms. It is simpel, the rooms a very basic, but beautifully maintained. A great place to spend some time. Venice is known to have very high hotel prices. But this place was only 89 Euro a night. Very affordable.

Really neat, what ISO was that or is the grain added in post?
As always I shot for the lowest noise possible, so ISO was ideal at ISO 64. Knowing ahead of time the look I was after, this image was purposely underexposed a bit to saturate the blue hour colors, and enrich the blacks. The grain was added in post. Only lightRoom was used however.
