Aperture Series: Miner’s Cabin Interior (M9)
This series shows the Leica 21mm f/3.4 Super-Elmar-M behavior in a tight interior shot.
Example — miner’s cabin just north of Death Valley
The old phonograph and radio still work provided that an appropriate power source is connected, at least according to the hand-written note.
Lighting was slightly variable, with this cabin in the high mountain shade. I white-balanced at 5600° K to warm it up a bit. It was quite cold, around freezing.
