Leica X2 Paul Smith ed:

My hometown at dusk, 30 August 2016, Akron Ohio, Main street. f5.6, 1/160, ISO 200. It's amazing that with a 33 percent reduction in population since 1980, and 66 percent reduction in income, that they are able to keep the city clean. I suppose the feds prop it up.

This one was a 20-minute wait after sunset watching the clouds and colors develop. I know some cameras have scene modes for sunsets, but even when I use a camera that has those, I've found I get better results just waiting and shooting a few, and occasionally the light and texture just pop on their own. I cropped it vertically where the sky…[Read more]

The battery did have light use for at least 3 days, so taking 629 flash photos after that was spectacular I thought.

Two more – the famous bridge from a distance at night, f2.8, 1 second, ISO 400. I cropped 10 pct. from the left and 5 pct. from the right, but there is still noticeable coma on the lights. On the left side, I masked out the coma somewhat. Still, it's no worse than the Noctilux lens shooting it at widest aperture. The second item are the Irish…[Read more]

Thanks! Shooting JPEG-only has its disadvantages of course – with the bridge photo, I abandoned realism so I could turn an out-of-focus image into some kind of “art”, so no hope there. I'll get a better one eventually.
