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.
f/1.4 is crazy :o my largest aperture is a 50mm f/1.8, not even close
pics are fire too

love when i have the opportunity to spend the night in the city
Just got an Arsat-H 50mm f/2, it's the smallest f-mount lens I have and I quite like the look it produces
got some new toys
rainy walk
ghosts, featuring ghosts
abandoned lot self portraits
10sec timer and using trash on the ground to mark my focus distances
high contrast - not how i usually would edit something like this, kinda strays from the lens' character, but i quite like the drama of it
ended up underexposing this shot a bit too much, the sunset was only like that for a few minutes though
double exposed with the Df's onboard multi-exposure mode, pretty pleasing result, probably shouldve shot the portrait darker though

didn't leave the house today so, an abstract
50 days of shooting 50mm
@(: 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.
