JHAG Posted November 30, 2006 Share #5 Posted November 30, 2006 Nice Noctilux surprise. Coltrane spoke about "sheets of sounds" Here, bokeh is forming the ripples of sounds Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhotoArchival Posted November 30, 2006 Share #7 Posted November 30, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Nice capture and bokeh. Looks very much like film I think, as does alot of the other M8 shots that I have seen. Amado Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gverdon Posted November 30, 2006 Share #8 Posted November 30, 2006 Great catch. I maybe would have be tempted to capture the right hand too. Still a great catch. And agree with Vic, your tones are better and better. Gérald Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirk Van der Herten Posted December 1, 2006 Share #10 Posted December 1, 2006 Richard, A small question. Except for the difference in crop factor, would you say your nocti is behaving differently on the M8 copared to the RD-1? Is the nocti easier to focus for instance on the M8? An interesting portrait by the way. Best, Dirk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

semrich Posted December 2, 2006 Author Share #13 Posted December 2, 2006 Stuart - Thank you, it is always nice to receive your comments. Victor - Thanks, the improvement in the tones is due to a number of things, including: your comments and suggestions, a lot of practice with the software, as well as the files from the M8 seeming to be much better. Iammaken - Thanks for you comment, I am sure the bokeh is because of the lens, it was a grey overcast day and I had just got the noctilux and was shooting mostly wide open to see what results I would get. Johan - I almost didn't post this because of the left side of the picture, there were out of focus spots from the trees that looked like fish scales, so I played around with the grayscale mixer in lightroom to tone them down a little so it wouldn't look fishy, how nice that you can perceive them as "forming the ripples of sounds". Thanks. aminw - Thank you, that is a nice comment to read because the M8 and Noctilux are both a very new experience for me, these were kind of practice shots walking over to B&H Photo so I could get into more trouble. Armando - Thanks, It seems to me that the Noctilux lends a lot to getting "that film look". Gerald - I also would have liked more of the right hand, unfortunately I was still getting used to the M8 framelines and he was moving to turn around. Both you, Victor, and others have been guiding me on tones and it has helped, thanks for the feedback. Jan - Thanks, it is a habit to offer something, after even a momentary pause, to a performing artist. Dirk - It is no small question, and I wondered about such things before getting the Noctilux, but after seeing some of the results posted from it on both cameras I had to take the plunge. So far I have only used it on the M8, both camera and lens are new to me, and I haven't experienced any more difficulty with it than any of the other lenses I have. On the M8 I have used it with and without the 1.25 magnifier and haven't noticed much difference either way. I have as yet to use it on the R-D1. Alberto - Thank you. Thomas - Thank you.

JHAG Posted December 2, 2006 Share #14 Posted December 2, 2006 You're welcome, Richard. As it happens, I was just listening to a fantastic "sound rippling" in an early recording of Miles Davis with Sonny Rollins on a radio broadcast:cool: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
