Like A New Day - A Leica Photography Podcast

By Zachary

Talking photography and all fine arts, and Leica from a fan’s perspective, this show is all about finding our creative selves in a world full of modern distractions. I am an independent photographer focused on documentary and environmental images. Based in Michigan, I have over 20 years of experience making photographs with digital and analog media. I am a former urban planner and current conservation nonprofit director, and I understand the power of images and art on community. This podcast is my own, and is not affiliated in any official way with Leica Camera.

Embracing Failure, Using Constant LED Lighting, APO Vs ASPH

Embracing Failure, Using Constant LED Lighting, APO Vs ASPH

This episode is all about virtual contact sheets in Lightroom and the fact that what we are seeing when we scroll through there are mostly the thousands of images that did not make the cut! In other words, you are surrounding yourself with your "failures" and we should let ourselves off the hook for them. We also talk about LED lights in a very unscientific way, and how we can use them for both video and still photos with great success, especially with mirrorless cameras. Finally, I stumble wildly through a terrible description of the terms APO and ASPH in camera lenses. All about aspheric lenses: https://www.edmundoptics.com/knowledge-center/application-notes/optics/all-about-aspheric-lenses/ I refer to some creators and links in this episode.

Avoiding cliche, mismatching gear to the task, and the Leica M10-D

Avoiding cliche, mismatching gear to the task, and the Leica M10-D

After a pandemic-induced hiatus, and thanks to the listeners who have reached out to encourage me, here I am! With all the uncertainty in the world, I debated over topics quite a bit. I settled on avoiding cliches and shooting off-balance to do so...and paired that up with the unusual and mystifying Leica M10-D!

Inspiration From Others, Metering For High Contrast, Leica M10 Monochrom

Inspiration From Others, Metering For High Contrast, Leica M10 Monochrom

This week we explore the concept of using the work of others as a starting point in our own development as creators. In particular, we will discuss the work of Alan Schaller and Sean Tucker, especially as they are well-suited to the transition into the second segment, which will cover how meter for highlight and use old fashioned techniques to get that very high contrast look, especially in black and white photography. Finally, I’ll ramble on about the object of my obsession, the Leica M10 Monochrom, the perfect tool to execute the type of photography that is the theme of this episode.
