I was hunting down some late night food yesterday and strolled the part of the city for some interesting scenes. I saw a police pickup, stopped at a mini van, officers checking papers of the van driver. I didn't pay much interest to what was going on, but liked the light of the scene, coming from bright flood lights from a super mall across the street and some fuzzy street lights behind me. I took a few frames of the van, to see, if I could get a special lighting and exposure. It looked boring. Only, when the driver finished his cigarette and opened the back of the van did I recognize, what I had there: "wagon" "pigs" "unload" "The Midnight Meat Wagon" EPSON R-D1 | Leica 28 Cron ASPH | ISO6400 | f2 | 1/15 - 1/30 After I had the second frame in the box, the driver unloaded half a pig onto the street, turned it over, making sure all the dog excrements, human spit, cigarette stumps, food rests and street dirt left a good layer of meat preservation all over the cadaver and pulled it into a warehouse. So if you ever pay Shanghai a visit, and wonder, where the meat comes from, you just had - beware of "The Midnight Meat Wagon". The R-D1 faired pretty well for the slow aperture and the very, very dark subject against extremely bright lights from the mall. Only, if you push the files in such scenes, does the underexposed areas show banding due to the heavy contrast. Pushed M9 files do not look better under such tricky light with heavy pushing. Anybody lend me a M9 for playing around with pushing ;-) ? -
During a taxi ride through Shanghai, I took some winter impressions with me and found my ideal lens for the R-D1 - a Leica 28 Cron. "lost space" "heimkehr" "chatter" "…" These and more photographs are also on my website.
