Snip from today's blog post:
R ecently, there is not much time for active photography. I use the chances as they come though and do some drive by shooting while commuting. This is not only a fun thing, to do while serving otherwise dead time in taxis and cars, but also trains the eye and old manual focus bones in my fingers. From the first day I got the Noctilux, I found it, to be a rather easy to use and fast lens, given the photographer constantly anticipates the scenes developing in front of her/him. Doing this out of cars, which the lens as much open, as one can manage is first challenging, later just rewarding, as moments go by much faster, than being on foot. As we know - there is never a second chance, to capture a moment lost.
"the mirror"
A Shanghai motorcycle taxi driver looking in “the mirror” - Is he looking for upcoming traffic or contemplating times past, as his expression might make guess? … Shot with Noctilux f1 wide open on a Leica M8.2.
"wandering"
An old gentleman, wandering in the heat of the Shanghai summer. … Noctilux f1, possibly f1.4 on M8.2
Love that lens, not getting tired of it ;-)

The last shot above is super! I love the tonal range and the OOF areas are sublime. Price has always stopped me looking at the Noctilux but I will follow this thread with lust and interest!

first customer ? | M8.2 | Noctilux @ f2
first customer ? | M8.2 | Noctilux @ f2
On my way to work, I observed this scene:
A hair stylist, arrived at his shop, parked the scooter, opened the shop and stands in the entrance, waiting for customers.
A young women closing quickly - will she be his first customer this morning?
