Woke up to a foggy morning, and with all the "I love film" participants banging on about fog and trees in fog, I hopped on my bike and went through the farm.

 

Too many fences etc, and the mares were too curious, almost in my face.

 

T with 18-56.

 

First is virtually straight out of camera JPEG, second similar but cropped top and bottom.

As a "street shooter" with the latest firmware, focusing is as fast as any other than lenses prefocused.

Peterborough Astronomical Society and Sacrewell Farm (a charitable trust heritage farm) co-hosted another public star party on 27 Feb where further experimented with the red filtered flash / B&W film mode imaging technique - this time using the Leica T and 23mm T lens. Previous results were spoilt by erratic flash output when the SF 24D was used in TTL mode - so this time the flash was used in manual mode but with minus 3EV dialled in. Unfortunately the flash output was still erratic i.e. it pumped out too high flash intensity - thus was reduced to minus 4EV which gave rather too underexposed results. Detail was recovered in PP but I'm still baffled as to why the flashgun is not operating as smoothly as it was last year - when the red flash intensity (when used in TTL mode) was acceptable to the astro observers.  One reason could be due to the CR 123A lithium batteries being past their best - even though the flash ready light is visible. The current set of batteries have probably given well over 1000 'pops' at high ISO - which seems well past their potential capacity. So next time will replace the batteries with a fresh set. CR123A lithium cells are expensive but they last ages - but maybe when ‘aged’ the voltage varies - which might affect the actual flash settings’ operation? 

 

Parents and children enjoyed the observing experience and the society has probably gained some potential new members. We also provided a static indoor display of 'scopes and binoculars and astro posters - plus rolling AV presentations and a planetarium.

Composing the image in total darkness is helped by the T's AF assist beam - and the semi-wide angle lens is fairly forgiving of compositional errors and offers good DOF. The youngsters night vision was well adjusted but mine was not … it takes 30 minutes to fully adjust. These photos taken at ISO 800, f2.2 (aperture priority) 1/60sec. Flash intensity must be kept low to avoid compromising observers' night vision - and red light is tolerated by observers hence the red filtration - which necessitates using B&W film mode jpegs.

 

Best wishes

Took the T and 18-56 with me yesterday when I had a few hours spare in the big smoke.

I'll post a couple then sprinkle them gently, so as to not overload you all.

Still enjoying the Nikkors Louis?

Interesting looking building that Barnes and Noble.

Gary

 

Absolutely, Gary! Nikkor 28 mm is a very good lens and very sharp. It suits better for street photography.

That B&N building was built in 1900 as a Power Plant. Now, it has offices and restaurants. Actually, you can see the logo of "Hard Rock Cafe" (a guitar) on top of it.

Here, another shot from Baltimore with the same 28 mm.
