I think that the basic reason for owning a Noctilux is that you never have to think about this again. I just used whatever light was in the rooms. Floor lamps from Pottery Barn, mostly. I tried to position myself so that I could see the subject, and, where possible, I tried to get onto the "dark side", but mostly I just held the camera and pushed the button, figuring that if I could see it, then the camera could see it. Most people have very uneven and contrasty light in their living spaces, and I think that as I gain more experience with the Noctilux I will learn places to stand or sit or lie, with respect to the room lighting, that will work better than others. I found myself thinking often of Colin Vozeh's "Available Dark" concept. Brian Reid - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
