Portrait Shoot with the M8

[Mudman]

Went out and did a portrait shoot of a friend's daughter the other day with the M8, 50mm f2.8 elmar (m mount) and 35mm color skopar. Mostly the Elmar. Very happy with the results. Here are a few, and the link to the whole album http://ericjenks.zenfolio.com/p94170729

Overall, very pleased with the results. I didn't have any trouble focusing fast enough for the kiddo, good colors, and I was happy not to have my big D3 be intimidating and in the way of the portrait, if that makes sense.

Excellent shots

 

[Huss]

Very nice work. The second shot (1st B&W shot) is my favourite.

 

[Range-rover]

Great shots, for the color shots did you use a uv/ir filter?

Thanks
Range

 

[pepeguitarra]

Great shots. My favorite is number 2

 

[Mudman]

Yes, uv/ir on all photos. 2nd is my favorite as well. It was a fun, relaxed shoot. Kid is a natural model. Easy to work with though full of energy. I was pleased the leica didn't slow me down.
