tashley Posted March 5, 2007 Share #1  Posted March 5, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Good evening kind folk!  I spent last weekend shooting another Italian carnival.  Viareggio is a very different cup of tea (or kettle of fish) from Venice. The town is lovely but in a far less classic way, the costumes are cheaper and more cheerful, the action is more party-like and the parade was at night, in driving rain. Again unlike Venice, no one slows down for the photo so it's a much tougher shoot altogether, but fun.  Here are the shots. Nothing to get too excited about but I had a good time in any event.  http://tashley1.zenfolio.com/p1035144927?session=4D1A3AB130A24D3C&_not_a_link  A taster:  [ATTACH]28302[/ATTACH]  Best to all  Tim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisC Posted March 5, 2007 Share #6 Â Posted March 5, 2007 Tim - I followed the Zenfolio link; another fine set of pictures, well done. It's self evident that you are at ease with the M8. As much as I enjoyed the Venice portfolio, I detect a slightly more confident playfulness in these photographs which gives a very good signature. Presumably you were without a 35 [water under other threads etc.], sorry to be a bore but I am curios to know which focal lengths you predominantly used. Â Thank you for sharing the portfolio, it's always a pleasure to see educated, mature picture making. Best wishes.

I appreciate your comments.  Best  Tim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tashley Posted March 6, 2007 Author Share #8  Posted March 6, 2007 I am curios to know which focal lengths you predominantly used......................Chris  Lenses were almost entirely 24 f2.8, CV15 and 50mm lux in about that order of frequency. The reason I use Zenfolio these days is that if you hover mouse over top right of any shot, it gives you full EXIF (joy!) but since the M8 won't record a non-coded, most shots with no lens in the EXIF are the CV, though two or three are the 24mm, where I (doh!) forgot to switch back to lens detection...  Best  T Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tashley Posted March 6, 2007 Author Share #9  Posted March 6, 2007 Not for nothing, but this stuff belongs in the Photo Forum..  Point taken but there's a bit of a dearth of M8 work out there and people are interested in what lenses, filters etc got used so I'm not too concerned about posting them here: but if other voices concur with yours I'd be happy to move similar posts over in future.  Best  Tim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisC Posted March 6, 2007 Share #11 Â Posted March 6, 2007 Tim - Thanks for the lens information. I hadn't spotted the access to exif data in Zenfolio, I'll go back and look at them with additional interest as I'm thinking of the CV15 and Elmar 24 combination [if I can live with vignette/cyan drift fixes for the CV]. Zenfolio is a handsome way to show work. Â .................Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I am endlessly willing to answer questions: for example, a lot of these shots were on the CV 15 and I had to fix the cyans in Photoshop with masks and layers and so on. Mostly stuff I learned here, and will happily share with anyone who missed the relevant threads.  Best  Tim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get limitless storage, can upload individual files up to 10mb, and there are lots of useful options. Plus it's only 40 $US a year. It's a steal!  Tim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
