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

got intentionally lost on a trail

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.
