I don't know what I love more, if your pictures, or the look, feel and vibe of the first 3 minutes of the video... incredible. That made me curious about something though, how do you handle the temperature changes for your camera and lenses, say, when you leave home, or the car (I assume being way warmer than outdoors, like in the video), how do you transition your camera from warm to cold without it getting some condensation, etc? Thank you so much Paul, just subscribed, discovered your channel today and I'm loving it.

I have to say, it's absolutely excellent! The mood you created throughout the video was exquisite, capturing a unique and captivating atmosphere. The soundtrack complemented the visuals and enhancing the overall experience. I was particularly impressed by your distinctive creative approach and attention to detail were evident in every frame, making each shot a visual treat. It's clear that you have a keen eye for aesthetics and a talent for capturing beauty. Your video stood out to me because it had a certain tastefulness and elegance that is often lacking in other works. The way you composed each scene and played with light and shadows added depth and a touch of artistry to your photographs and vids.

Paul, love these images. Tried Dxo pure raw 4 with my lumix.. Astonished at the quality of the rendering. Might work wonders with noise from the M8!

One of my favorite images I shot is from more than ten years ago, shot on a 12 megapixels Micro Four Thirds E-PL1. Thanks to AI based upscaling (like you've shown) and AI based noise reduction I managed to produce an astoundingly brilliant 30 by 40 inches print which I had professionally framed. There is not a spec to criticize when looking at it from a reasonable viewing distance, you will have to step so close to it to lose perspective of the whole scene to see it fall apart just ever so slightly. The sizes you printed from the M8 are not an issue at all.

The audio in the first 3 minutes doesnt justify a Leica Shutter sound. It was the most characterised camera shutter sound, comparable to a Hasselblad. The M8 shutter is not just a click, but like a door open or and keylock open. Also the rewind sound is very mesmerising. Ever newbie hearing this sound will know this is not just another camera.

Paul, let me start by saying thanks for doing this video. You seem as excited as I am that you did this and got the results that you did. I knew the M8 could handle a fairly large print but I had no idea that it could go this big and hold together the way it did. Your shots are incredible and the printing company did a fantastic job. Congratulations on the photos and thanks again. Ernie

Thanks so much for sharing this video. As a fellow M8 shooter, I am constantly amazed at the performance of this beautiful little machine. Others still scoff a little that I am using such an “ancient” camera, but I love it and the images that it captures. Kudos on those beautiful prints!

Outstanding, Paul. As you say, printing is what it's all about. Like you, I have a Leica M8. I took it to Paris and ended up making a 11x14" book from the photos, including plenty of double-page spreads (14x22"). They're all razor sharp and look beautiful. It's a little powerhouse, that camera. The only one I'll never, ever sell. I've got access to up to 200mp if I want it, but it's amazing what the M8 can do with good glass and a compelling subject. Your pics prove that, time and again. And congrats on the collaboration and kudos for the way you've executed it. Having watched your channel for a few years, I know you would have thought about it for a while. It's worthwhile story telling. No complaints from me.

@forneverarrow
@forneverarrow 2 года назад
Very good job!! Indeed, 10 megapixels are enough for fine artish photography, where some noise is acceptable (artistic wise). And in the case of M8, don’t forget the lens factor! Leica M has the best lenses out there. But I thing for landscape or cityscape photos, 24 megapixels should be the bottom end. I am using a 24mp APSC camera and I am able to print up to A2 sizes without visible noise, but for really big prints you need north of 32mp. And the results are very dependable on the print quality.

Some lovely photographs, Paul. I used to have a Nikon D200 which had a superb 10MP Sony CCD sensor, it was APSC of course. I could print up to A2 with no issues from the NEF files generated by the old D200. I have to be honest that I always used base iso, Nikon AF-S lenses and quite often the camera was solidly mounted on a proper solid tripod.

So projects like a book, zine or print is what we should be doing. You’ve inspired me and put a fire in my belly I’m going to produce my own book! BTW it’s such a shame there are only three prints .

The statement at 3:00 is a little funny, considering the location you shoot at 😄.. Considering that your location is some peoples Iceland, it really doesn‘t feel „true“.. but i agree that in principle a photographer should be able to find good shots anywhere.. Depending on the location, the difficulty of finding these shots will vary dramatically. Some places just are incredibly unremarkable, which especially at the beginning as a photographer will make the barrier to entry a lot more difficult to overcome.
@PaulCSmithPhotographer

Yes - the chair image is awesome although I couldn't help wonder how an extra image with your very regal dog sitting in it looking off to the side or straight into the camera would have looked? An additional trip back to the chair maybe? (Note: I am a dog lover so to me all images with a dog in it are fab 😀) Now you'll have to pay for framing aka triple the price of the printing - which always cripples me. Lol

This is a serious question and I apologize if it sounds ridiculous but I have been away from studying the current image enhancing programs available for photographers. Family life has even killed my time doing photography for the last six to eight months. The question: Is what I heard about the Lightroom Enhanced program function to double the resolution from the ten megapixels to a twenty megapixel image correct?

you can print with anything even 10 year old point and shoot with 12Mpix , as large as Empire state building , becase no one will watch it from close up counting pixel , so it is irrelevant , by the road side you will find Adds and banners that are not even 1 Mpix , not even 200x200 pixels sometimes . So there is your answer , you can go as big as you want , the bigger it is , the further away you look , so its pointless question .

You can print 10m wide using your M8 - it all does depend on what you are satisfied with. Many people are happy with their shitty smartphone images, it's just how low you set your personal quality expectations! Your chair image shot with the SL2 and a prime lens would blow away the very same image shot with the M8, according details, especially if printed large.
