BYJ's Leica

The new pictures of BYJ for Arnaldo Bassini has come out..Yep! a mix of summery colors. I believe the market is for men of all ages looking at the style.

Anyway, what would best capture Hydee's eyes??? yes the camera. Of course, BYJ loves his gadgets and this time I assume although I shouldn't, that the camera he's sporting was a Leica.

I read the reviews of this camera and it sounded impressive. It's a 2002 M series. Must be a lot lighter than Canon EOS. I must admit mine is getting a bit heavy at times. It's manual focus, in other words a bit conservative. But shutter is automatically controlled. It has an aperture priority autoexposures feature. Now since I am new to digital photography, let's define some terms.

1. aperture- controls the amount of light that reaches a digital camera sensor. An aperture acts much like the pupil of an eye that opens wider as light decreases to let in more available light. The pupil gets smaller when light increases to reduce the amount of light entering the eye.The combination of aperture and shutter speed are related, and effect the exposure value. The faster the shutter speed, the larger the opening of the lens and visa versa. (digicam help)

2. exposure-the total amount of light received by a photosensitive surface or an area of such a surface, expressed as the product of the degree of illumination and the period of illumination.The image resulting from the effects of light rays on a photosensitive surface. (dictionary.com)

So combine those two, you will get the picture..

Since I just acquired my first oldish camera a Regula Picca C. It's one of those you don't use a battery therefore you have to manually turn this little lever to shoot. I haven't tried if it still works but will get a roll of film for the sheer sake of it. I know, at first I thought he was sporting this one because of the red trademark but then again BYJ with a box standard German made? nahhh!
