HI All

M8
ISO 640
50mm f2 cron
f2
1/30th (mostly)

Many many thanks to the charming lady for permission to use these (especially the last one).

Banding? in one shot - minor
Milk Bottle? cloned out (what a fool I am)

Enjoy

Which is the real her, one wonders. Or was the last picture posed?

Is that lens a recognised portrait lens? To my eye at that aperture it throws the background out to just the right degree.

I'm watching these M8 postings with great interest and enjoyment. I'm never likely to have one (well, never say never) but just seeing what good photographers can do with it is raising the bar on my aspirations for what I can try to achieve with my own camera. This forum is an education in the very best sense.
 
Jono - Some great shots, the last one is a doozie :-). She looks pretty wasted, LOL. Was it staged? -Norm
 
Looks like it was a great party. How was your pulse beating when you took the last one. Had you just handed the joint to her?

Jono,

Lovely images - just what I had hoped the M8 would be good at. I want one of those - and an M8!! Robert White is now closed for the holidays and still no call from them. Guess I'll need to be patient a bit longer

Happy Christmas
 
I've looked at these 6 times already ... they're just great, and what a wonderful young woman to allow you to post ... the last one has me laughing out loud, remembering those days when I used to party instead of sitting at home like an old fart. ;-)

Number 3 is my favorite. Thanks, Jono, and hope you continue having fun for the holidays.

Hi Jono,

What comes to mind when I look at this fine collection is that they would look very interesting printed as a collage. I think each of your captures add to the others.

Not posed - and of course, they're all the real her!

I think they all are - it has nice bokeh, and it's small, and just about fast enough.

For me, the great thing is that it's pushing me into taking pictures in different ways - this was good fun, they're not all perfectly sharp, sometimes because she was moving, and sometimes because I was, but it's such a different deal from having an slr stuffed in one's face!

thanks for looking
glad you liked them

have a great Christmas
best wishes

Hi Jono
I like the last one best.....that really says it all! Where were
you that people can smoke inside?? Here, that's just a memory. K.

Glad you like them. As for smoking inside, it's our Kitchen, and you can't smoke in it - Simeon can't smoke in it, Silas and I don't smoke in it . . . . . . but Alice can do pretty much what she likes!

:-)

Seriously, she is a friend of my oldest son, they'd been to a party, and we mistakenly had a couple of drinks with them when they got back . . . . . Good fun, but I'm only now feeling better!

have a great Christmas
best wishes

LOL - not staged, but not quite as wasted as she looks either!

glad you liked them.

Hi Tim

Really characterful shots Jono, especially the last one. I think F2
works better than F1.4 for this sort of work, you can get both eyes
in focus at the same time and ears too if you're lucky!
Click to expand...
Maybe - but I guess that it pretty much evens out with the camera shake I had with the slower shutter speed! Of course, I was completely sober myself.
tashley said:
Thank heaven for legal smoking indoors - it creates great
atmosphere for shots like these!
Click to expand...
LOL - well, it was our kitchen, and there aren't too many who can get away with it there!

Hope you're having a ball

best wishes
