Fun with Minox Leica at Venice Beach

Tee Why

Went to Venice Beach, CA for a short walk to get some fresh air.
Minox Leica is a tiny palm sized replica digicam of Leica's M3. It's pretty close to a pinhole digicam. No exposure control, no AF, no zoom. Just a near 50mm fixed lens. The camera has tons of noise at it's fixed ISO 100 and CA is very pronounced, but for $100, it's fast and responsive and fun.

These are cool - I'm really liking them. Are they SOOC or did you do some PP on them?

I like these shots, especially #1 and #3. The cloud contrast is interesting and brings out a lot of nice features.

Nonetheless I still love these shots. Great colors and dynamics in the sky!

No, I had to adjust WB in LR2 along with a little adjustment and then polish them up a touch on PSE. Nothing too much though. Mainly contrast/levels/curves/burning/saturation-color correction.

I'm starting to build a Minox Leica M3 gallery here. Slowly but surely.
