Leica M9 in a bus

The other day I happened to take a bus to and from the West End and had my Leica M9 with 35mm F2.0 lens with me. I took a number of pictures impulsively when stuff caught my eye and rather like the results.  the last picture was taken on foot in Belgrave square. #Leica #LeicaM9

The Leica M8 in Notting Hill






I think the subtlety of the light and the sheer amount of lovely detail is unique to Leica!?? and no one seems to see you even though you are shooting right in front of them.

A Leica M8 goes for a walk


I have recently acquired a Leica M8 to go with my M6 and make use of all my fabulous Leica lenses.
Off I went to the British Museum to try it out, and very soon I could see why it is soooo much better for this type of photography rather than the DSLR. One is solid small and unobtrusive and silent, the other covers your face, has a massive lens and is noisy. One frames the picture with the wider scene always in view, the other is like looking through a tunnel.

What do you think?

Face on a phone box

I liked this bit of graffiti on a phonebox in Knightsbridge, London, snapped with my Leica M6 on a rainy day. The sticker for "design brighton" seemed to fit.

Big Ben - taken on B and W Infrared Film


These two pictures of Big Ben and Churchill's statue in Parliament Square taken with my Leica M6 and Kodak Infrared film have been provoking positive comments in Fulham, where a small selection of my prints are on show and for sale at the barber shop, Crew Experience at 911 Fulham Road, London SW6 5HU. Tel: 020 3010 1096.


So I thought of putting them on the blog and seeing if they strike a chord with readers, who perhaps can direct me to examples of their photos which have used infrared to give their shots some zing.

I have recently started offering my images not only as Giclee prints but also as:
  • multiple lenticular prints and
  • printed up to wall size on canvas and
  • using a specialist photo etching service
to increase greatly the use of photography as a decorative feature in the home. The response has been gratifying. Please visit my website for more information.

One afternoon at the Barbican



Further to the previous post, I also took these photos while visiting the Barbican. Again the Leica because of its incredible lenses, makes the mundane interesting.
