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...

 

Best regards, Michele

Michele, welcome aboard. A fine place to start, Carnival. You'll find the same zany characters here.

[richam]

A lovely set capturing the spirit of the place. And I add my welcome.

[Michele]

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...

P.S.

Ben, thank you for the hint!

Just a thought. Are you using an IR filter?

[Michele]

No Andy,

 

I haven't used the IR filter, just plain Summarit 35 mm. Do you suggest it?

 

Michele

[andybarton]

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.

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...

[Michele]

Ok thank you Andy,

I thought the filter was not needed with sun light.

Michele, nice series. Welcome to the forum.

The carnival photos are a great series, & the final BW reveals an entirely different potential, for grasping feelings/attitudes on film or sensor.
