KL, were you playing midfield for one of the teams?
That is quite close to the action...

haha - was a media invitee -standing at the goal line. these 2 came rather close. All in, i had like 5 good shots for a 45 min session.
I also brought my d700 with 70-200 and 1.7x. Just so I looked 'pro' - but i must confess - i could hardly operate it! Am now thinking of selling the nikon.
cheers!

Thanks Charles, KL
Dierk - very nice portraits, super sharp
KL - love the action shot! I imagine that must be extremely hard.
some shots from a few weeks back....just now getting to
50 Lux
35 C Biogon
ZM 25...the framing on this one disgusts me, I just couldn't get it right. Too hard to use the 25 w/out a VF

Thanks everyone for your comments. Nice shots Ryan, Dierk, KL and Edwin..
A few more shots with SX 50. From an exotic car show in my neighborhood. I got myself a photo book of prints made by the late Magnum photographer Ernst Haas, (Ernst Haas: Color Correction). Some of the best color film work I've seen. Lots of images to study in that book.

Thanks Ajay, Charles!
Ajay - very nice shots of the cars...great pp on those!
Edwin - great use of the Nokton, looks like the lens is a winner!
Some final 35 Lux shots....before I traded it in for a 35 Nokton

Edwin, I may get shot if seen in public....but I prefer the Nokton II over my Lux ASPH (not the FLE) I had. I love this Nokton. I had the VI of the Nokton and hated it...decided to give it another chance with VII and the results have been spectacular. I may have had a couple bad copies of VI but the VII I have has been spot on. I had a great copy of the Lux ASPH and was hesitant about trying the Nokton II, but it quickly won me over. I say good move!

Edwin, nice set with CV's 50/1.1, and 35/1.2 II
Ryan, very nice shots! I still love the 35 Lux FLE It is wonderful with the M system to have such a choice of lens. IMO I prefer the 35 Lux/50 Lux Asph, but value for money the CV's are brilliant.

Lots of very nice images lately. I've been lurking, and busy working. Just want to chime in on the CV 35 f/1.2 vII. I received it in time for the second half of a job over consecutive days last week in the same venue. I swapped it into the rotation in place of the ZM35C for the rest of the job. Having just completed the post production, I have to say that I see very little difference between the CV and Zeiss in terms of LR settings. While I have yet to do a side-by-side and there will certainly be subtle rendering differences, the vII is definitely not a low contrast lens, at least when stopped down around f/4-5.6, where I used it most of the time on strobes.
Ajay: beautiful results with the 50 Lux! I guess congrats on the purchase. Just an FYI: you beat me to it!!
Yeah, I'm jealous, but then, I also just spent nearly $2K on my car, so maybe it's better I missed it this time around. P.S. let me know when you want to sell it
M9 & ZM50P on the High Line (yup, milking this one still)
Thanks KL! Nice job on the soccer action too!

Thanks for the comments all.
Ron - keep them coming. I like how the people all have something different going on. Some speeding by, some taking their time looking around.....
Charles - I will have to try that with some of my shots. Skin tones are not one of my strong suits....but those above look about perfect

The third shot is great! It really showcases the special rendering of the 50 Lux ASPH in a great way.

Thanks every one for your comments. Trying to learn the subtleties of the 50 lux.
Ryan, love the third shots from both the sets. All quite lovely though. Savannah's an interesting place. I lived in S. Carolina for two years during early part of the last decade. Used to frequent Augusta and Atlanta quite a bit. Don't miss the humidity though
Edwin, nice shots of your daughter.
Ron, I'll let you know if I ever sell this lens. Not sure why I want to do that but you'll be at the top of my list if I ever did that. I like your street / subway / airport shots. Do you just preset the focus and shoot from the hip ?
Charles, nice rework of these images.

Thanks Charles. I agree with Gary - those portraits do look good. I also mess around with the hue and saturation settings. I find the M9, like my old 1D with its CCD sensor, can sometimes render fairly blotchy skin that looks unpleasant but can be mitigated with careful hue adjustments. Ruddy skin benefits from positive red hue shifts and in general I like to use offsetting positive red and negative yellow hue settings. With the right amount skin will smooth out somewhat yet not look like it's a single hue that's been painted in.
Thanks Ryan - a very nice location that you seem to visit fairly often? I'll be heading back to NYC in a few weekends and am considering hitting the High Line again but also wandering farther south, maybe all the way down to Battery Park, if time permits. During the last visit, I planned to be on the High Line for only an hour or so, but ended up there for about four before running out of time.
Thanks Ajay - I would guess it's a mix of techniques. If it's bright out and I can stop down a fair amount, then I will zone focus a lot and might not even look through the camera. I don't really shoot from the hip (does anyone?), rather more from mid torso. I've gotten pretty comfortable with guessing approximate framing to pull off no-look shots. I particularly like busy places with a lot of stuff going on, where I can jump into the middle of it and shoot really close and also really wide. Sometimes at such near distances people either don't expect you to photograph them, or don't realize they're in the image because it's a super-wide lens. I also like shooting from chest level because I'm fairly tall (6'3") in order to get a somewhat lower perspective. I think a lot of what I've posted recently, such as from NYC, has been composed in the viewfinder.
More of the same with the ZM50P:
The above two are the same group, quickly recomposed.
