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.

edited a photo nifty took
the green that is present in the image at embed size is fascinating to me because it was not created intentionally at all. more glitchy process stuff primarily abusing making lots of instances of tools in darktable and changing the processing order. style ive been experimenting with in my earlier pose extractions and such. this one is a lot less imagedestructiony though, and i feel like the glitchcolors compliment the original photo, something i dont achieve often (usually more experimental editing for me results in a loss of what originally brought me to press the shutter button)
todays combination of things. moving fast, not happy with a lot of em but thats less important than just sharpening the workflow here

@(: 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
