Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! Thank you for posting, I really like the mood of the scene. However, I fail to see what the unsharpness of the background adds to the picture. Mostly landscape shots benefit from a deep DOF. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenInTime Posted June 17, 2019 Share #145 Posted June 17, 2019 It carries the mood of being deep in a wood well. The slightly vagueness of intended subject ; mossy stone or wall through the shallow depth of field and vignetting conveys a sense of trepidation. The old pictorialism vs. f64 debate ? ... though the f64 crowd would not hesitate to filter, dodge, burn and unsharp mask to shift perception.. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted June 17, 2019 Share #146 Posted June 17, 2019 That is indeed the debate of ages. Personally I like subject isolation when it has a function in the language of photography. In landscape photography that is not too often. It is also a thing that easily turns into mannerism. My take on the Noctilux is: the best tool to have when you need it, but don't overuse. A thread like this should be useful in the debate: when to use a Noctilux wide open and when not. For instance: photo #102 is a beautiful example of how to use the lens and probably could not have been taken in another way, but I would have preferred photo #111 to be stopped down. I can also say why: The overwhelming architecture of the street is enhanced by the two girls providing a point of interest. That means that both parts should be equally in focus. The emphasis on the girls is provided by the light, not by the DOF. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelatino Posted June 17, 2019 Share #147 Posted June 17, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) I do like Neil's photo #111 as it is, and for me more DOF wouldn't add anything better. The street architecture is "overwhelming" due to framing, not by itself, ( well yes the street is narrow) so no need to give it more importance. Light is perfect. Actually, in this picture, even if taken wide open, DOF is quite long as the subject, I assume, was far from the camera. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted June 17, 2019 Share #148 Posted June 17, 2019 I didn’t say I didn’t like it, on the contrary, but I said that the more narrow DOF detracts rather than adds. I think it would have benefited from an (Apo) Summicron stopped down a bit, or, in absence, the Noctilux @ 5.6 or 8.0. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fotografr Posted June 21, 2019 Share #151 Posted June 21, 2019 It's hard to tell, but I shot this in a side room of a Buy & Sell shop in which the lights were turned off. It was so dark I could barely see to focus. I'm sure an autofocus camera/lens would have failed here because there wasn't enough contrast to register. The Noctilux and M10 literally turned night into day in this case. Welcome, dear visitor!

evikne Posted June 22, 2019 Share #155 Posted June 22, 2019 Too much light is usually a bigger challenge than too little. I wish I could shoot wide open at daytime without the need for and ND filter.

The Noctiluces seem to be made for the SL. And with IBIS in the SL2 they can be shot in pitch-black darkness. Spy agencies will be lining up. So will the the US military, I presume.

My favorite part of the image is actually the OOF rendering of the lower part of the t-shirt and the folds in the shorts. We Noctilux lovers are some strange people. 😉 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
