Now wouldn't you know tonight after my standard exercise in frustration (basketball in a very dim gym) I had to go to a local bar and photograph a SKA band called Mohammed Skali. Nothing like punk music to end the day, eh? Well, the light was horrendous. I ended up bracketing from 1/4 sec. to 1/60 sec. at 1.4 at EI 3200 with my 35 Summilux ASPH. And one time I saw a girl with a point-and-shoot, so I stopped down to f/8 and set the shutter to bulb and when she put it up to her eye, I opened my shutter (hand held) and watched her flash pop through my viewfinder. Now that's the way to do flash with an M6! :-) But the assignment made me think of you, because it was so dark, I was essentially loading the camera without looking. It took me two times, except I found after I opened it up I had gotten it right the first time. :-) (It did take about 30 seconds, instead of 15.)
