patricks Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 It is the subject, my friend. Not the lens. :-) Keep shooting/sharing these. And please don't inspire me to get another Leica lens... Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip_williams Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 Yes, the subject is 90% of the success factor, but the Noctilux has it's signature all over the pictures with the shallow DOF, vignetting, and big bokeh. I'm not sure if I like the image characteristics or I just like the pictures. But in any case, they look very nice, IMO. Skip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerry_szarek Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 I am already in trouble with the CFO (my wife) after buy a canon 10D and a 17~40F4 zoom and you are tempting me to buy a $1700 F1.0! BTW I like 3 the best, I am not fond of light falloff in the corners, composition on 1 is GREAT. Incredible colors, helps to have a good subject to photograph. So on to my usual rant, what camera body, what film, obviously it looks like F1.0 for aperture especially on #3. Happy snaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen Herbert Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 Well, as you are aware, great photos. You just get better and better.Wonder where you will finish? so I just got my Noctilux (again)... I think you should sell your gear to me!( at a price). I could use it, then sell it back to you ,at the same price. Think about it;you save money, and i'll have fun. Seems a great offer;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marke_gilbert Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 Kristian, <P>This is the your best stuff Ive seen... <P> I have to shoot some outdoor stuff in the next couple weeks, and was debating using my noct. Debating no longer. <P> Really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shambrick007 Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 Shot #2 is the closest thing to a 3-D photo that I think I've ever seen! Your wife is darling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shambrick007 Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 �and oh yeah, these are the first shots that EVER made me want this lens�damn you!!! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony_rocha Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 Kristian, These are great shots. Was it at F1 and did you have to use ND filter, and if so what type/make. I guess the Noct will be high up on my list of must haves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristian dowling Posted June 10, 2003 Author Share Posted June 10, 2003 Tony, no ND used. jUst perfect overcast light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russell_brooks Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 Yeah, this time it's more than the lens. Kristian, to be honest, I didnt find your other noct pics on other posts to be all that special. But now you've used the swirling, circular whateverness of the noct together with the posing of the model. These are quite nice. Even the colors work well for an over-all effect. (as opposed to an "over-ill" effect) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephane_park Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 I was so happy and content with my 75 lux...telling myself - no more expensive Leica Lens purchases - and now this! You are a bad man....Great photos! Now I just have to remember that this was all a combination of skill, good lighting and a good model - nothing much to do with the equipment.

kristian dowling Posted June 11, 2003 Author Share Posted June 11, 2003 OK, OK, it wasn't the lens, it wasn't the camera, it was me. Skill, skill, skill :-))) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
