This was a rather opportunistic capture with a Leica M240 camera, a 35mm lens, and a tabletop tripod on a windowsill, just before a late afternoon thunderstorm.
The light always does most of the work in photography. Sometimes it works especially hard.

I have mixed feelings about the Leica M system. The lenses are of very high quality, and everything is small enough that I can travel (or hike) with a fairly complete kit when I'd otherwise not bring a camera at all. Most of my favorite "opportunistic" photos have been with a Leica.
But everything is obscenely expensive. And while the small size is great, it's also a compromise. I usually wish I had my larger camera (with movements, etc) with me instead.

The other thing that drives me nuts about Leica is their marketing, which makes you feel like you're buying fine jewelry rather than a useful camera system.

@mattblaze Not sure if "obscenely expensive" was mentioned in relation to a *checks notes* PhaseOne IQ4 :)

@deadinside The P1 system is definitely pricey (more than a Leica), but I feel like there's reasonable value. With Leica, you pay a lot for the logo.

@mattblaze I've never commented on any of your photographs before but I figured it's past due for me to say they are all absolutely amazing, including this one. Hoping you continue to post these, as they are a wonderful palate cleanser from the InfoSec stuff I'm mainly here for. Thank you!
P.S. Publish a coffee table book!

@mattblaze Agree. Having just looked at the Leicas, i do like the compact size, but those prices... damn.

@mattblaze these two things may not be unconnected.

A CNN reporter asked #Trump if the deal he was pursuing with European leaders still involved the #US owning #Greenland. Trump hesitated, looking up as he thought of what to say, before answering: “It’s a long-term deal. It’s the ultimate long-term deal.” Asked how long that was, he replied: “Infinite. There is no time limit. It’s a deal that’s forever.”
Trump said the framework of a deal relating to Greenland would be put out “pretty soon.”
