Leica M8 Photo Gold Mine

[roblumba]

In my constant search for new Leica M8 photis I stumbled across a Flikr photo group that has quite a collection already.

You can also do a search on Leica M8 and find stuff too. Perhaps the same stuff.

AMAZING pictures! But I *hate* second-guessing myself every time I see purple, red or near-black colors.

Amazing is amazing

Amazing is amazing

Hey, amazing is amazing. stick a filter on and forget about it. Or just shoot away and be amazed at the colors, whatever they are 😉

p.s. I know many of you have valid reasons to want exact colors without filters, etc. No need to recap here.

What is so amazing about the M8 group's pictures? Just bunch of snap shots to me..

 

[roblumba]

So what!

So what!

ywenz,

So what about your website. Just a bunch of snapshots? I don't think you should really criticize someone else for posting something that resembles a snapshot when you have a bunch of them on your site. Perhaps you should reduce your site down to a few dozen amazing shots and then I'll be impressed. Meanwhile, I think it is good to see the day by day shots of people with their M8, especially since there are so many people on waiting lists, and wanting to see more. (e.g. me).

Anyhow, the group's photos really are just a little taste. Do a search on Leica M8 and there's a bunch of other stuff.

Here's a coupel favs from Christopher

M8 and Noct...what a combo. My only complaint, ISO 2500 isn't grainy enough 😀

 

[roblumba]

Whos gallery?

Whos gallery?

Can you post a link to the entire gallery? I'd like to see the rest of the snapshots. 😛

I believe in waiting till a new product proves itself before i run out and buy it. So far i've read nothing but bad things about the new M8 but all the photos i've seen look perfect to me. So i guess i'm going to join the club to, looks like a great camera to me!!

This is the best M8 Noct shot that I've seen yet...

Gee, she uses a Leica AND rolls her own cigarettes! Quite an unusual young lady!

M8 and Noct...what a combo. My only complaint, ISO 2500 isn't grainy enough 😀

That's one of the funniest comments I have heard of the M8 so far 😀


That group of candid portraits was pretty damn good

guy, i'm not proclaiming my website as a "goldmine" Stop taking it so personally. Most of the pics in this pool are garbage snapshots. I can say they are garbage because that is what they are, when you compare to the sample of pics from the normal Leica pool: http://www.flickr.com/groups/leica/

I wish you would just keep your negative opinion to yourself sometimes ywenz.

Everytime I come to visit this - otherwise interesting website - and read different threads, you are in between there somewhere, always making negative remarks.

It's starting to get boring.

I really do not need to know your personal opinion about every other photo. Specially when it's a negative one.
Please don't come down on me shouting you have every right to call other peoples work 'garbage'. Of course you do. It's just a matter of being polite if you leave other people be, now and than.
It's not like your pictures are God's greatest gift, you know.

Please. I'm not trying to get in to I fight, I don't want to insult you. Just wanted to react to something that's been bothering me on this friendly and interesting website.

For what it's worth, to all the people who's pictures are referred to here:
I very much liked to look at your photo's. thanks for sharing.

Peter

I don't know what's so amazing about comments on these threads. Just a bunch of random words to me....



a suggestion from another thread comes to mind



..... IGNORE THEM....

 

[ywenz]

U guys are right, I'll try to keep my comments to myself from here on out. I've just been irritated by the lowering of the bar for quality images when it comes to the M8. I'm not lashing out at anyone directly.
