Noctilux at night - M8 f1

arminw · 03/17/07, 10:05 PM

After last nights dinner while clearing the table, I thought of taking a picture using my new Noctilux lens. I turned down all the lights in the room, and at near darkness with just having the outside light shine through the window blind illuminating the table, I took this still life.

M8 - 1/6 sec - ISO 160 - F1.0

An amazing lens that’s all I can say !

If you want to share some of your low light Noctilux images, why not use this thread so we can all see it.

Armin, this is a lovely picture. The light is soft and gentle, the colours few but very expressive. Well done. Steve.

Armin,

You should take more images after your dinners. This is lovely.

Very inviting, hardly any camera shake, nicely done. I bet you are very happy with this lens.

Thank you all for your comments !

Wilfredo - I am very happy with the lens , but it takes a bit more practice to get it all sharp. I seem to struggle in low light situations and F1.

A charming picture Armin, the varied colour palette although gentle has a subtle richness.
I trust you finished the bottle later?

It is a bit soft, but it suits the subject. Nice and atmospheric.

I agree with the others, a very nice shot.

I would love Leica would sell a 35mm Noctilux, which would perfect fit on the M8.

WPalank · 03/20/07, 04:07 PM

I love it. A very nice pastel.

Armin, two things. I just love the colour of this image, the tulips are look almost painted, I have been searching for leica lens to 'paint' like this and I feel I've found it.

Secondly after viewing this I can't wait to get mine (just ordered Friday last with the 30%) and go explore how good this can be on the M8, I have missed nothing in Canon except for my 85L and I hope this finally is the answer.

Striking image colours and texture could almost have come from a Dutch Masters brush.

Armin -

Very painting-like and rather charming.
