A D700. Only slightly more when I saw it on the big screen here in Bridge and Photoshop. A whole lot of information, unexpected. Color wise none of that was there. The scene appeared near monochromatic. I'm getting color casts from various near invisible ambient sky light pollution. Perhaps some from Reciprocity failure but I don't know. I decided this was a gold mine and to go about to lap the entire Central park most of it with a similar stone fence of the same height around it. I was going to get a very small tripod to put on top of it; though bigger than what's normally called a tabletop tripod I thought. But today I've been thinking about running over to B&H and just trying out a Beanbag. They can be quite light I think. Maybe I can use it for a pillow on the subway. It could be the right tool for the right job or visa versa. But with the beanbag I'm going to not shoot at iso 6400 but 500. And shoot at f8. And use quite prolonged shutter speeds. With lens delay or I'd have to get a cable release. I just may have hit it. -- Mark R. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/winterdays/ > From: Richard Man <richard at richardmanphoto.com> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Thu, 1 Mar 2012 20:42:24 -0800 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] Leap Night II > > THIS one is a nice use of flash and aavilable light > http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/winterdays/120229_001801.jpg.html > > You don't use a tripod right?
