This image is part of series of images I’ve taken while walking my dog in the morning. I call it my gratitude project. It allows me to be with him, as much as it allows me repeated opportunities to walk, observe and capture the same place. Through this I have learned that there are infinite possibilities to photograph the same place, and always find new dimensions or perspectives to it.
I love this particular image, because I was able to capture a very special quality of light and mood that it was present that day.
Equipment: Leica D-Lux 3, f4, 1/1000, 14.4mm, at ISO 100.
Why I use a Leica:
My first Leica was a D-Lux 3. I fell in love with the balance of image quality, manual focus and portability, in a precious and beautiful package. Since then, it’s my all around camera that goes with me every where I go. I realize that I ended up creating more images with this than with my SLR camera. Since then I have upgraded to a D-Lux 4 and recently an M8 (what an experience… more on this another time).

Very nice picture. Cold and warm at the same time. Amazing how a D-Lux 3 can deliver very impressive pictures (I also own one)
Congratulations to you and looking forward to watching your results with the M8.
Thanks to both of you. After this picture – which by the way prints great in 24×36 – I realized that this little camera it’s not a toy by any means of the imagination. I do a lot of my work now with the D-Lux 4 that I bought since then.

Martin, great photo, I really like your use of the light here. The mood is quite striking…-jp
I go to this park often. But I rarely see the moment like this. thanks for capturing it!
Wow that is an impressive image. I love the mood and the mist you captured. While I am sure the Leica helped capture that – I guess the photographer makes the biggest difference.
Funny finding someone with almost the same name as me who is a real Photographer.
