Basketball Fans

I shot this last night at a basketball game. I used a M8 with 35mm Summicron at f2 and 640ios.

Here is another fan shot from the second game. Shot with the Noctilux.

Robert -

I'll bet that if they saw the images they'd all want a copy. terrific color, details, light and "action". Of the two, I prefer the photo of the inebriants.

Are these JPG or DNG?

Another set of entertaining images ... I elated to view your fascinating sports action images using an M. Sports action will be the last area that will come to my mind when I think of using Leica-Ms because the conventional bread+butter cameras in this areas have often been an SLR or DSLR. Well done, Robert!

Arthur:

They are dng files. The light is a bit different than the shots on the floor because it falls off a bit.

It is actually a hockey arena and the ice was still below the floor. The lighting is probably setuo for the ice surface, not basketball. They had a hockey game there the next afternoon after the final.
