Nathan because you are such a fine photographer and for being that, there
isn't any question in my mind. Certainly having been involved with literally
hundreds of photographers during more "party moments" than I can remember,
yes of course because of some, "we might say, Over indulgence! ;-) 

 

There can only be one answer to your question, its always the same no matter
when or where.

 

                        >>>>>>>    3) I was too drunk?  <<<<<<<

 

Yep that's it right there! :-)    But you'll get over it! :-)

Last night we had the annual Christmas Quiz in a local bar, arranged  

for the 10th year in a row by two English guys at work. For me, this  

was the second time around, and disappointingly our team came in  

either last or next-to-last.

 

Anyway, I took about 80 pics with my M8 and the 50mm Summilux that  

arrived the day before. My UV/IR filters are not here yet, so I got a  

good flavour of why they were needed. Of course, the light in the bar  

was horrible and dim, and so black came out as not black.  A couple of  

the pictures of a woman at my table leads me to ask the following: if  

her allegedly black hair has a purple tint, should I conclude that:

 

1) She was wearing a polyester wig?

2) She had coloured her hair and so the M8 was reacting to the  

chemicals she used?

3) I was too drunk?

 

TIA,

Nathan
