[Leica] IMG: Noctilux at work

[len-1 at comcast.net (Leonard Taupier)]

All of the following photos were taken with the M8 and the 50mm  
Noctilux. All except the last photo were taken at f1.0 and ISO 640.

These photos were all taken inside of the restored home of William  
Penn on the Delaware River. There is not lighting in the home and  
flash photos are not allowed. Even the window panes have a UV  
protection film to help preserve the antiques furnishings. I have  
learned in order to take photos you need a sunny day and a fast lens.

#1 Focused only on the pot in the center of the hearth.

#2 On the edge of the table is a wampum contract which signifies a  
land purchase by Penn from the Indians.

#3 The following photo shows what appears to be a miniature tea set.  
It is actually a full size coffee set of the time. Coffee was so  
expensive only a small amount was ever made at one time.

#4 The kitchen hearth. Focus was on the blacker pot near the center  
of the photo.

#5The following photo was able to be taken at f2.8 because of the  
light from two windows and also an attempt to get the whole table in  
focus. The focus point was the nearest loaf of bread.

I hope you enjoyed the photos. I also wanted to show the LUG that it  
is possible to use the Noctilux and M8 together in very low light and  
actually take photos. I love this lens now.
