I shot it wide open at dusk with my 85mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor . I also often use my ultra compact 85mm f/2 non auto focus. A lens you can get for half what you can get for the former. Which goes for 400 bucks usd. I tried out having my camera shoot jpg's as well as NEF's. NEF's are raw. It stands for " Negative Exploitation Feedback". Which is what you get when you tell your friends you are shooting Jpegs. Unless you belong to the Niagara Equestrian Festival, if you do you can take a ride to the Nigerian Equity Fund , and win your million dollars if you can keep a secret. I've been doing this new thing its called "turning the Auto Focus off". The focusing on the 1.8d is silky smooth with my think gloves on. So I could see my original setting which was to have it be in monochrome. A cold blue green. And my plan was to duplicate this from the NEF. But I just used the Jpeg. Call it "Mark learns to love 8 bit and lives to tell about it." Here is a merge or stitch of an even dozen shots of Riverside park walking down Riverside drive. Or maybe I stood still and shot it. Moment after taking this pervious shot. Show me a tree I just start clicking. They stand still. Almost. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/110119_165943.jpg.html -------------------- Mark William Rabiner Photography http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/ mark at rabinergroup.com Cars: http://tinyurl.com/2f7ptxb > From: Philippe Amard <philippe.amard at sfr.fr> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Fri, 21 Jan 2011 15:08:13 +0100 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] Tree's dusk monochrome > > Must be seen large ! > > I like the sharpness (or is it just contrast at play?) of the lens > combined with the sweet OoF lines. > > What lens were you shooting if I may ask? > > Amiti?s > Philippe > > Le 20 janv. 11 ? 21:56, Mark Rabiner a ?crit : > >> >> http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/110119_165700.jpg.html >> The night before last.
