Michele Posted February 25, 2009 Share #1 Posted February 25, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello to everybody, this is my first time I post pictures to this forum, and probably you've already seen thousands of pictures of Carnival and of Venice. I really liked these ones, so really thank you for taking a look and in case comment them...

Michele Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share #6 Posted February 25, 2009 Thank you all! Very encouraging, let me try also with these ones.... Actually, the B&W one was taken on the train back from Venice, I didn't know the girl but she was just in front of me... and my wife not really happy I took it... Michele P.S. Ben, thank you for the hint! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted February 25, 2009 Share #7 Posted February 25, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Just a thought. Are you using an IR filter? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michele Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share #8 Posted February 25, 2009 No Andy, I haven't used the IR filter, just plain Summarit 35 mm. Do you suggest it? Michele Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted February 25, 2009 Share #9 Posted February 25, 2009 IR filters on lenses used on M8s are absolutely essential, if black man-made fibres aren't to come out all looking a nice plum/magenta colour. Have a look at the man walking inthe street with the hair and the table cloth, to see what happens when you don't use one. You will have received (or can get when registering on the Leica website) vouchers for two IR/UV filters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vdb Posted February 25, 2009 Share #11 Posted February 25, 2009 Welcome Michelle, very nice series. I too like the B&W. As Andy has said, IR filters are essential for color work with the M8... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michele Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share #12 Posted February 25, 2009 Ok thank you Andy, I thought the filter was not needed with sun light. Michele Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thompsonkirk Posted February 26, 2009 Share #15 Posted February 26, 2009 The carnival photos are a great series, & the final BW reveals an entirely different potential, for grasping feelings/attitudes on film or sensor. Kirk Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michele Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share #16 Posted February 26, 2009 Again, thank you all for your appreciations, I'm really enthusiast, and I will keep posting. Michele Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
