Is this that famous "Leica Glow" ?

?? Haven't seen this effect before (the purplish cast), self-portrait was taken by my son experimenting with backlighting and EV comp. with a Canon P&S.

It looks like purple haze to me.
the kind discribed by Jimi.
any 100 watt plexis in that room?

 

[ampguy]

Lol!

Lol!

No more plexis, but I think there is some Ronsonol around for the BBQ!

purplehaze? it sounds like a plant 30 years ago 🙂 no, it must be flare

I'll bet Hendrix would have used a super-multicoated Filter on his lens. Looks like flare.

Last time I saw that I called the Ghostbusters 😀

Looks like flare. Leica glow is the same plus films with old-style anti halation layer.

No. It looks like the famous ghost from the Tower of London.

It's a purple glow from the alien cat..

Are you serious?

Are you serious?

if so, I don't know if this is good or bad, but it looks like it was taken with a good p&s in "vivid" mode 😛

damn that's the glow.

::sigh::

The illiterati confuse "glare" and "flare" with "glow".

This is one (ok, two) example(s) of "glow" (with the Summilux pre-asph):






Of course, it's not an exclusive "Leica" "department". This one is with the 35mm f/2 Biogon ZM:



So... don't mistake a bug zapper with a flash diffuser. Happens all the time.

Nope, Kodak Porta VC. What's old is new again?

The second photo is nice, but that has nothing to do with the glow 😀
