Pages : 96

Book Description
Follow in the footsteps of Leica Camera Ambassador Craig Semetko’s 10 year trek across the globe to capture the spontaneity, humor, and juxtaposition of the human experience. In the book’s forward, iconic photographer Elliott Erwin writes, “Good photographs are tough enough to shoot. Really funny ones are even harder. Good and funny photographs observed in nature not arranged or manipulated but simply observed in real time with amazing consistency, constitute a minor miracle now presented in Mr. Semetko’s book…In my book, he is the essential photographer. That is, the one who sees what others could not have seen.” Inspired by Cartier-Bresson, Robert Frank, and Elliott Erwitt, Craig Semetko is a collector of the spontaneous moment. With an uncanny knack for using Leica Cameras to capture the beautiful and unexpected that surrounds us all, Semetko offers a striking collection of imagery shot during 10 years of traveling around the world, from Edinburgh to Amsterdam, France to Los Angeles, Hanoi to Bangkok, and beyond. This visual celebration records the first decade of the twenty-first century across all walks of life. Semetko documents the muted beauty of regular people simply living their lives, and captures the humor found in the offbeat and eccentric contrasts all around us. Unposed is a memorable exploration of an era shot by a skilled photographer, dubbed by Esquire magazine as “a noble torchbearer” of the Leica Camera legacy.

Pages : 214

Book Description
The Leica M system has been with us since 1954. It rapidly became, and has remained the favorite instrument of photographers, especially photojournalists, who, like Henri Cartier-Bresson, seek to ""catch life in the act"", to record ""the decisive moment"". In this Leica M Compendium Jonathan Eastland describes the whole Leica M system from his experience as a professional photographer. He explains how to use, enjoy and get the best out of the cameras and lenses, regardless of age. The latest lenses can be used on the earliest cameras, and vice-versa, and the Visoflex, although no longer made, is now much easier to use with the M6 and its TTL metering. Advice on planning and shooting a story with the Leica and extensive tables of technical data complete this ideal companion for the practical Leica M photographer, as well as for the Leica collector and enthusiast.

Book Description
A CONCISE, DETAILED GUIDE TO THE LEICA M9 The LEICA M9 is the smallest, lightest, highest-quality digital camera ever created by the hand of Man. The all metal LEICA M9 is less expensive than the old Nikon D3X, and weighs over four ounces (120g) less than the plastic Nikon D90! The M9 weighs only 2.4 oz (69g) more than the dinkiest Nikon D40. The LEICA M9 is the most important digital camera introduced since the Nikon D1, the world's first practical DSLR, in 1999. The LEICA M9 is a rangefinder camera, not an SLR. The LEICA M9 is the world's best digital camera for travel, nature, landscape, interior and outdoor photography. The LEICA M9's excellent sensor, coupled with LEICA's superior optics, leads to better overall technical image quality than obtainable from Canon or Nikon.
