note: on the last pic, there is a noticeable circular banding, shot at ISO 3200, exposed for the highlights, shadows pulled up in pp.

A fine series.

I hadn't seen circular banding before. Is it something about hi ISO and a particular angle of light?

Wonderful set again Dave.

Kirk, I think this type of moire-ish banding can be an artifact of using rotation or lens correction in LightRoom when a dark high ISO image has been pushed hard. Not sure if that's what's happening in dave's case, but it has happened to me.

Kirk, thanks. My observation is when the shot is undexposed heavily at high ISO (at ISO 3200 and up) then when the shadows are pulled up in post process. It's very seldom though.

ReeRay, thanks!!

Michael, how did you shoot this one? There's a lot of depth, did you zone focus on this?

on the streets i"m shooting between f/5 and f/6.3. Usually I zone for 4m, but this shot was a proper focus on the lad as I had a few seconds to catch it.

Playing around with the processing of this one... I love the detail. I've ordered a 30x40 test print from DSI. I'm excited to see what the MM prints look like when they are exposed on traditional analog Ilford RC.

And now for something corny....

@Michael - nice early catch!

@Chris - how are you liking the 75mm FL? Summarit in particular?
