Why not? It is after all daylight up there - and close to daylight when the light has been reflected showing us the moon. At f/4 it sounds about right with 1/500 and low ISO.
but in this case the moon was being imaged through very high thin overcast, was not directly overhead (more atmosphere to get through), and generally needs a bit of over-exposure from a neutral gray reflectivity value. So a couple of stops off from this old-fashioned film era rule seems about right.
I likely could have done 1/1,000 sec just fine as well.
I actually took that image trying to get the halo around the moon from the very high thin (likely ice) clouds. 40mm wasn't wide enough, but I was able to get this image with the 100% crop and minimal post processing.
Amazing what kind of usable super high crops you can get from today's 40+MP sensors and very good glass!
40mm is a nice focal length, it brought me back to my micro 4/3rd days using the Panasonic 20mm f/1.8.
Same here! I took a M43 as 2nd camera to Morocco years ago and surprised that 20mm(on M43) has a very useful FOV and I prefer that lens to the kit zoom.
Hello daddy-o, nothing so far in my eyes beats the wonderful 85mm GM, that lens is a absolute must, it is fantastic and just has the sweetest look. However 85mm can be limiting when one needs a wider view.
The 40mm f/1.2 has great pop and 3d rendering, which begs the question, does it have more then the 85mm GM? So far for me its a close call. the 40mm depending on how far you are away from your subject and what you background is has incredible pop that will come out in my shots as I use it and upload more here.
the advantage of the 40mm to me is easy to use, small footprint, lighter rig, and 3d pop and character, the shots I have posted so far are my intial testings, yet they are enough to tell me this lens is a keeper, and better things are to come.
I have the new Samyung 35mm f/1.4, to this point in my life, the RX1 and RX1R II has ruined all 35mm lenses for me.....
Not a theatre piece, but an exhibition as described below:
Art Gallery of Ontario EXHIBITION OVERVIEW
From the fantastic to the frightful, don’t miss this rare glimpse into the world of renowned filmmaker Guillermo del Toro and his cabinet of curiosities. Taking inspiration from del Toro’s extraordinary imagination, At Home with Monsters reveals his creative process through his personal collection of art, artefacts, books, and props, all culled from Bleak House, del Toro’s creative haven located in Los Angeles.
“To find beauty in the profane. To elevate the banal. To be moved by genre. These things are vital for my storytelling,” says Guillermo del Toro. “This exhibition presents a small fraction of the things that have moved me, inspired me, and consoled me as I transit through life.”
This unique exhibition explores the creative mind behind one of the most inventive filmmakers of our generation revealing his influences, from the Medieval era to contemporary culture, and his particular obsession with horror, fantasy and the rich heritage of the Victorian era. At Home with Monsters is organized thematically, beginning with visions of childhood and innocence and the Victorian era; continuing through explorations of death and the afterlife, magic, occultism, alchemy, Frankenstein and horror, monsters; and concluding with a celebration of comics, movies and popular culture.
Bride of Frankenstein as a theater piece! How was it? Or are these wax figures?
