Two new Leica training videos from Scott Morvay:
Leica M focus bracketing techniques when shooting wide open with fast lenses:
In this video I go over 2 different focus bracketing methods I use when shooting at Large Apertures on my Leica M9 and M240. Primarily on Leica Noctilux or Summilux lenses. It takes time and practice to master. See the pictures from our photo shoots on my flickr page also follow me on my blogs: http://www.tumblr.com/blog/scottmorvay and http://scottmorvay.wordpress.com.
