Thankyou Matt! Love the shots with the 24 lux, fast and wide is such a surreal look at times.

Boymerang those are some great shots, ND filter? Great atmosphere.

Here's a 50 Sonnar shot from Saturday night:


and a 35 Nokton shot:


For some reason I can handhold the Sonnar slower than the Nokton!? I need to figure out why, maybe the exit pupil is a lot closer to the sensor on the Sonnar, so it is less affected by rotation? I need to test and refine my technique.

This really has been an impressive series. Good stuff. As for these specific images, I really like the first two in the b/w version, but now that I see them in color, I'm doubly impressed. Really impressed. :bugeyes: I like them much better. And the subtlety of the light in the second one is incredible.

More magic, Daniel. I like the top one especially.
Interesting about hand holding. I have the same experience, ie, great variation from lens to lens. Never thought about why really, but it is a curious thing.

Daniel: Thanks! :D These two are really cool. I'm partial to the color and framing of the first. The colored stage lighting and the natural spot lighting on the drummer really sing. :thumbs:

Lloyd: Thank you, sir. :D I'm having fun processing these. LR3, Lightzone, and Nik Color Efex Pro 3.0.; Nik Silver Efex Pro and CS5 (Steve's technique for the B & W's. Cheers, Matt.

Boymerang, great series of shots! Beautiful rendering just adds to the atmosphere. :)

Matt, great shots in amazing colours! I don't know why we so often post in B&W, when colour versions add so much more :)

Well, I figure there's not better way to figure out this M8 and 40 1.4 than to go out and use it on a job. Yep, lens showed up Friday, went out and used it Saturday morning.

I shot an event for a local charity's holiday party at Dave and Buster's which is an arcade restaurant. I had my usual kit (D3, D700, 70-200, 28-70) but also had my new to me M8 and 40 1.4. JUST WOW! ISO 1250 looked better than ISO 4000 on my D3 with the same light. Now the M8 shots... It was DARK in there as you can see from the second pic. All of these were available light, or lack there of ;-)













PS- Sorry about the size! Forgot to resize these!

Very nicely captured, Jason. Impressive IQ, especially under those conditions.
