More 800 iso

[Johnmcd]

Eldest son watching the box. 800 iso seems to be a bit of a sweet spot for the RD1. F2 @ 1/28 sec with 40mm Nokton. I am continually impressed by the RD1 colours. It has been stopping me 'seeing' in B/W.

2nd pic is the wife (obvious to my next GAS attack) as she prepares dinner and listens to some tunes.

And a 3rd shot in B/W. Exposure was a little out on this one, I think due to an all white kitchen decor. I find that correct exposure is one of the biggest factors when shooting high iso's. The end result, a little 'noiser' than the others.

Cheers,

John

More good stuff. Particularly like the first and the expression in the third.

Thanks Gid,

I like the 3rd one as well. My wife used to hate having her picture taken. Now they all just ignore me when I pull the camera out and roam the house 🙂

Cheers,

I like the colour and oof area in the first shot. This lens/camera combination seems to work well.

You but later if the wife sees herself in a photo, she gets on me for taking it. As time goes on she is more resigned to the "nut" in the house.

John - very nice images. I too tend to "roam the house" and the RD-1 with the Nokton 40 is a great combination to utilize when doing so. Are you using the 35mm framelines? I find them very accurate for me even as a glasses wearer.

Great pictures!

I'm always impressed at what the R-D1 can capture at iso800. Over at the Leica group a few M8-ers have confessed that the low light performance of the R-D1 outshines the M8.

The picture below was taken at iso 800 with my lux35 wide open at f1.4. Could not have captured it otherwise. Detail from a panel on a 17th c harpsichord at the Courtald Gallery in London.

Yes and find them just about spot on given that the viewfinder shows about 85%.

iso800 works very well. it is my favorite iso. I even use it at daylight, lol.. because I love filmlike grain. Lower iso are just so plastic
