Nice choice of crop for this one Edward. Very interesting.
Also - how do you guys set up your Auto-ISO when you use it for street? I usually use a mix of "A" mode with all the parameters set or Manual if the light is really (consistently) low. I find Manual mode typically gives me better overall results though and is the one I use the most. One thing I noticed is that in Manual, the SS won't drop below what you set in camera and will underexpose if needed. In Aperture priority, the SS will drop below your set SS limit to "properly" expose the image if needed (which can be frustrating). I'm curious to see what you guys have for Auto-ISO settings - particularly for nighttime street photos.

Thank you Gary! The crop almost imposed itself by the subject. I only cropped out the empty floor in the foreground.
As for auto-ISO, this is my main shooting mode for street together with auto shutter speed. I only switch to full manual when I'm shooting portraits or landscapes. I will normally specify the minimum shutter according to lens, 1/125 for 50mm and below, 1/250 for the 85mm. I use exposure compensation quite extensively with such setup. I don't mind that the shutter speed goes low in insufficient light, as my maximum ISO is 3200 and I would rather not push the exposure in post too much due to banding.

Thanks Edward. I also use the exposure compensation a lot....

Lovely, Jon 
That one was worth the crop, Edward. Gorgeous color.

In an effort to be ADA accessible, and allow folks in wheelchairs easier access to the beach, Siesta Key now has quite the walkway mat which runs all the way down to the water

Thank you Charlie! Very nice work with the biogon, previously known as the karaagon
Gary, those b/w tones are superb. I'm quite convinced the older cameras with their non compromised low ISO performance are actually better than the new ones.

It will always be known as the karaagon Edward! And yes, I agree about the B&W tones in this one. I think the M8 paired with the ZM35C is an awesome B&W machine - provided the light is good. I have thought about picking up a cheap M8 again but know I would end up a bit frustrated in low light situations and dealing with color cast issues.

The electronics must be at the end of their life, starting with the LCD.
