Advertisement Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 Hi wbesz, Take a look here Harp Player. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Gerhardt Isringhaus Posted October 21, 2006 Share #2 Posted October 21, 2006 Quite lovely. I can almost hear the music from the hands sculptured in the marvelous light. Well done! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambroving Posted October 22, 2006 Share #3 Posted October 22, 2006 Nice experiment! You should make such mistakes more often. 75/2 DOF shallow enough for you? Seriously, this works for me. How many frames did you shoot? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbesz Posted October 22, 2006 Author Share #4 Posted October 22, 2006 Thanks Gerhart and William. William, I would have liked to try f2.0, but the sun was too bright. This is from an ISO 100 film that was accidently set at 400. Explanation is: I had picked up my M7 from Leica at Solms after they borrowed it for a short time to use as a reference for checking the alignment of my 75/2.0 lens, ..and I didn't notice that the compensation wheel was set at -2. Two rolls of film later I fixed it. :o To compensate, this Acros 100 B&W film I developed at 50% longer than normal (13 minutes rather than 8 as recommended).

lambroving Posted October 22, 2006 Share #5 Posted October 22, 2006 Interesting... Think twice before you use this lens at this range at f2! The DOF will be ~ 2mm!!! Remember my Bentley shot? That was f2.8. http://www.leica-camera-user.com/discus_e/messages/11/164885.html?1132282810 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicamann Posted October 22, 2006 Share #6 Posted October 22, 2006 Very nice. Two things..its looks better ..off the browser and on my Desktop Secondly.... seen as a print there would be a finer transition and luminosity in the tones. Thanks for sharing Regards, Leicamann Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbesz Posted October 22, 2006 Author Share #7 Posted October 22, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) William, yes, yours and several other shots with the 75/2.0 asph lens grabbed my attention some time ago. John, thanks, ..I have noticed that film with grain doesn't compress very well using jpg and small files, just too much detail to handle with contraints!

wda Posted October 22, 2006 Share #12 Posted October 22, 2006 I like the interplay between the two triangles in the composition, viz the harp and the hands/face. Very satisfying regardless of lens used. It is the 'vision' which counts! David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbesz Posted October 23, 2006 Author Share #13 Posted October 23, 2006 Thanks for your comments. BTW, this was taken in Wetzlar after I had a couple of lenses checked out in nearby Solms that same morning, and Klaus (and Wolfgang Hagen) were kindly showing me around this historic town, and providing helpful advice.
