Lloyd: Congrats on the X-Pro 1, and, great photo of Mimi and your granddaughter.
Michael: Nice "Kathyrn" shoot! The 3rd's my favorite.
Robert/Michael/Lloyd/David/Taylor/Charles: Thank you, gentlemen! :D
David: Nicely done 'mirror' shot.
Lloyd: 'Noctilicious'!
Michael: Nice 'conversion', angle and DOF.
Chris: That's a beautiful shot! It just 'draws' you in.
Lloyd: Light yellow, yellow, dark yellow, yellow-orange...
Robert: Isn't that water cold? You're, like, North of Maine! Cute as always. I esp. like the second one.
Lloyd: I actually bought that slide at the Mt. Rainier gift shop and scanned it. ;)
Michael: Great 'high key' pp. I like the first one's 'portrait' quality.
Kristian: Congratulations! Look forward to your M-M work. Also, what strap is that?
Chris: That one doesn't look 'innocent' to me!
David: Nice shot. He is hard to 'read'.
HiredArm: The casual pose and the DOF's cool.
Dan: Thanks! Haven't seen you in a while. Be good.
onesixeight(Chris): Beautiful shots of Alana! I thought you'd switched to film? :D

Charged the battery while I went to visit some folks, then put on the Elmarit 90 and spent my lunch sitting at my desk with a silly grin.

So after a two and week vacation, I'm finally at ease with my new Noctilux 0.95 ASPH : I'm going to sell it for a 35 1.4 ASPH and a MM :)

Still undicided if the MM is the way to go or not, I have to say I'm impressed with the MM high ISO ability and fine tones but one thing is for sure - I'm currently more and more in love with black and white photography - finally, at a couple of years of having the M9, I'm getting bw pictures that I love - due most to the fact that while I might have changed a bit as photographer, I did sharpened up quite my skills in post processing - and I keep them now... to a minimum. Carefull focusing, most carefull composing are the big differences - and instead of spending an hour or so with each picture, I spend much less because I know what I want - instead I go surely for what I want and spend quite some time doing fine adjustments.

Also, I just got newfound love for a much ill-loved lens that I had on my stable and was the lens I most enjoyed using on my trip - Leica 35mm Summaron f3.5. The smooth transition, the soft contrasts are just PERFECT. I felt sometimes almost not at ease since I was using it ALL The time and the Noctilux was just being on the bag.

Funny how a 300 usd lens can kill a 9000 usd one.

Anyway, sorry for the long rambling, here are few pictures I took :

Normandy, the Mont Saint Michel :


Saint Emillion on the background, wife on the foreground :)


Chateau Yquem, at Sauternes :


Chateau Figeac :


3 pictures panoramic picture of Saint Emillion center :


Ponpon, a normandy mule ( and uber friendly :) )

I struggle at times with that same realization. Expensive glass in the bag, and an old, under-appreciated lens on the camera.

These are really wonderful pix, and I think I'm seeing the wonderful lens qualities you are seeing. Just to be sure, post a few more of your wife, and we'll try to evaluate more carefully. :D

Monochrom + Nocti @ f.95. ISO 2500. All my Monochrom shots for now are processed through Silver Efex Pro as Ilford Delta 100 with some tweaks. Still working on this (it's going to take a month to get this fully sorted).

Hi Woody,

I'm seeing strange effects on your posts 7116 & 7117.

Some strange sort of cross hatched banding on neck of card player and on his sleeves and over the wine glasses. Also in the shadows under the bowl and on the large tomato at front of bowl. Also I just looked again and the shot with the folded arms has same effect in shadows on the card table.

Cheers,

Gandolfi.
