maaaaaaany photos to go through, the trip was a great way to dive into the deep end and learn how to use this camera and these vintage lenses! (i've learned that I have MUCH to learn).
The following photos are from a concert I wound up at thru sheer coincidence. These are all shot on a pre-AI (Aperture Index) Nikon 50mm f1.4.
I realized after the fact I was shooting at way too low a shutter speed and way too thin an aperture (manual focus in the dark is a CHALLENGE). I could've closed down a stop and shot a stop faster and still woulda been within acceptable ISO range. Learning!
That said, I actually really like the blurriness and unfocus in these, they match the band's unnerving and theatrical noise performance quite well.
that's much better. shooting at iso 12800 in the daylight
ehhh. the ones of nifty thru the fence and liz popping off at getting a honk from a truck turned out nice though (the thin depth of field makes me feel ill) (even though it looks Good) (remember when i used to like it? lol)
BEWARE
walm art
editing way lazy but maybe the better way to look at it is i'm sharpening my "edit quickly" skills
crushing out more detail
this area's in an 'extreme drought' i think
i would consider these shots somewhat hastily edited but i got what i wanted which is the skies having a full range of tones from black to white
next time i went back to https://streak.club/p/59903/words-places-by-999999999
someone added to the bit by smashing up the shelves and blocking off the door
ultra close crop on the lips one

@(: yeah f1.4 is o . o with the LX100II at f1.7 it was equiv. to ~f3.7 for depth of field, I've never dealt with such razor thin depth of field before. I'm borrowing the 50mm f1.4, 35mm f2, and 105mm f2.5 primes from a friend who got these lenses along with an old nikkormat camera body from her grandfather when he died.
f/1.4 is crazy :o my largest aperture is a 50mm f/1.8, not even close
pics are fire too
