paolo d Posted July 22, 2007 Share #1 Posted July 22, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi everibody, it's the first time that I used a rangefinder camera in a such intense way:) ! More than 2 weeks travelling around the Portugal, a lot of shots, only with my M8 and mainly one lens - the zeiss 28mm biogon ZM , that I used everyday and changed very few times. I was worried about the light conditions, I don't love the high contrast, and I was worried about the dynamic range of the M8 too. Anyway, this is the link to my website: Porta photo album Thanks for your comments Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtmerideth Posted July 23, 2007 Share #3 Posted July 23, 2007 Paolo, I enjoyed your visual tour very much. You give wonderful insight into the culture, people and architecture of a great city. Thank you. g. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ho_co Posted July 23, 2007 Share #4 Posted July 23, 2007 Paolo-- Very nice work, indeed! And a nice sense of humor in several of the shots. You make me want to head for Portugal next chance I get! And your "Powered by Paolo D'Alfonso" reminder is also charming. Thanks for posting. --HC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbuckley Posted July 23, 2007 Share #5 Posted July 23, 2007 Paolo - these are wonderful, and truly in the Leica M tradition -- the highest compliment. JB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The M8 appears to have done you proud! best wishes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasticman Posted July 23, 2007 Share #7 Posted July 23, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Superb and witty images throughout - I especially love the interesting way you compose your images so that the frame appears to be 'sliced' geometrically by different surfaces or objects. My only (slight) reservation would be the tinting of digital images - I've developed a slight aversion to that effect, and I wonder why you added it to some of them(?) Anyways, all-in-all a brilliant set of images! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchell Posted July 23, 2007 Share #8 Posted July 23, 2007 Great shots, and a very fast web site which is appreciated. Good job. Best, MItchell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauribix Posted July 23, 2007 Share #9 Posted July 23, 2007 Complimeti Paolo! davvero fantastico bianco e nero, ho apprezzato molto le tue foto, ma che tipo di impostazioni e settaggi hai usato? hai fatto qualche post-process? sono molto curioso di sapere anche i settaggi sulla macchina (contrasto, EV, ecc...) Compliments Paolo! really fantastic B/W, I really appreciate your shots, but what settings did you use? Have you done some post-process?I'm really curious about settings such as contrast, EV, ecc.. made on camera.

paolo d Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share #11 Posted July 23, 2007 Thanks a lot for your comments and your support. I try to reply - to Murizio: I usually shot in raw (+ jpg low, for a quick general view), so I don't think that the camera settings influnce the shot; then I process using C1 to obtain the .tiff files. -Finally I convert in BW through PS, spending some time to achieve a good 'film' feeling. - to plasticman: the light toning effect dont't fully convince me too; I tried to obtain a warmtone-like effect, but probably I failed Regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
comapedrosa Posted July 24, 2007 Share #12 Posted July 24, 2007 Paolo, I enjoyed your gallery very much! It always fascinates me to see how other people interpret a same location. In this case, it was a big lesson for me. Thank you! C Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
comapedrosa Posted July 24, 2007 Share #13 Posted July 24, 2007 Paolo, I'm curious: do you simply walk around with your 35mm equivalent set at a high f and focused at hyperfocal distance? I'm more interested in your technique than in pixel peeping, and as I'm currently going through a deep soul searching that takes me from expensive all manuals to cheap auto-focus computers and all the way back, your gallery pulled my right back to HCB! BTW, I found plasticman nailed it with his comment on your composition, and I love it: cut, cut, cut. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paolo d Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share #14 Posted July 24, 2007 Paolo, I'm curious: do you simply walk around with your 35mm equivalent set at a high f and focused at hyperfocal distance? . Yes, that's exactly what I do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
