Hatching Terminator. (Patreon)

This week I'm anticipating the Monochrom day, usually reserved to Saturdays, because Ive used the Leica M10 M for nearly 1/3 f the photos (194 frames on a total of 648), and I want to show you the results.I finally pulled the trigger on the Visoflex 2 for this camera (an additional electronic viewfinder) and luckily enough it arrived in time for the shooting.Proved to be very useful in the field, not only for the precise focusing, but also for critical framing of the images, and it is a much improved experience compared to the old version for the M240.This accessory has made the M10 M a better camera for actual work on nudes, albeit I only tried it with the standard 50mm lens for the moment.In the future I will surely try it with the Summicron-M 90mm, which I always found impossible too use on a rangefinder camera, but I might also try with completely unrelated lenses from any other brand, as it is easy to adapt glass from the rifles era on the M mount, focusing and framing inside the EVF.

This room was so dark, but I really wanted to shoot Barbora inside this strange machine, like a hatching terminator.The M10 M with its BW sensor is the only camera I was confident using in this dimly lit interior, and it proved a good decision, because the detail in Barbora's tattoos is exquisite. A camera I would define a weapon of lass description, also in the dark!

Speaking about Barbora, she was in pain with one hand, and possibly a broken bone.Barbora's bruised and swollen palm reminded me about what happened to my foot on the nude beach with Maria last August, and apparently it is the same cause, falling down whilst walking on rocks with the wrong shoes.But she was brave and decided to work anyway.In my case, there was no broken bone, and I hope it is the same for her, but this shows it can happen at any age...

One more photo from this room later today on my regular social media feed.
