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.
she went to the diner with us because it was important that the waitress there met her
return of subtle toning, this time less subtle (but still subtle)

all these years and hundreds of miles and i'm still playing videogames with people late into the night where the best move for hot food and snacks is to go down to the local gas station. truly a time honored tradition
you read about the usa 100 years ago and you go "damn it sounds like getting attacked by wild dogs was like a coming of age thing- a sort of tragedy that befell the old masters, that necessitated a whole profession around catching and preventing the formation of roving dog packs, what happened to us as a country? why don't i ever get attacked by wild dogs like the artists whose work so inspires me?" and then it happens to you and you go "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh I See"
wet fall my beloved

@(: 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
