📷 Flying over Arizona and Utah

Before our return to Portland from Tucson, I was really looking forward to flying over Arizona and Utah because there are so many landscapes there that I adore and have seen from the ground as well.

And the views did not disappoint! Here are a few along with my best guess for the place.

Sedona.

Grand Canyon, east of Grand Canyon Village on the South Rim.

Marble Canyon, with Navajo Mountain in the distance.

Vermillion Cliffs.

Bryce Canyon.

Great Salt Lake.

I went on a photowalk with my friend Andrew today and got to try a really old Leica lens that he found in a thrift store recently. It was a Leitz Hektor 135mm f/4.5 and was probably made in the 1950s.

It’s remarkable how I can just attach this nearly 70 year old lens to my Leica M10, a modern digital camera made just a few years ago. I’ve read how Leica M maintains compatibility with the oldest products but today I got to try out. It just works!

Focusing was a bit tricky to start but I got the hang of it after a few photos.

Then I had to start “seeing” with this long focal length. That took a minute. I’m used to a 35mm or 50mm lens and this is very different.

Got some okay photos. I had no expectation to start composing anything worthwhile with this in an hour.

Can’t go wrong with a store window selfie though 😄
