[Disclaimer: [B]This is just for fun[/B]. Nobody really thinks there is anything better than the new M Mono and 50/2, I mean...come on...]
In honor of Leica\'s newly announced Monochrom and Summicron, I would like to start an image thread of our Leicaesque shots.
Rules:
1. Must be shot at f2
2. Must be shot at ISO 10,000 (pushed ISO\'s from pitiful, low-end gear will be accepted)
3. Must be presented in monochrome
4. Must include camera/lens combo information
5. Must end your post with the phrase: \"Sure it has some grain, but it\'s very film-like.\"
Bonus points will be awarded for:
• Poorly focused images
• Mundane subject matter
• Poor composition
• Lack of contrast
• Blown highlights
• Rationalizing the above traits
• Coming across as a snobish asshat
I\'ll start:
OM-D, 45mm f1.8@f2
This image was captured at my summer house in Vienna, oh, wait...no, in my hallway in my humble ranch in smalltown, USA. While not exhibiting critical sharpness, I was able to capture the raw emotion of the moment, which is what the photographic arts are all about, no?
Sure, it has some grain, but it\'s very film-like.
