I went and looked again and now I have to go lay down for a few minutes. BTW, there is another syndrome, in addition to nausealux syndrome, and that's insertus syndrome. Take a look at the bottom photo, and the one right above it - the very cute little boy looks like a paper cutout whose been dropped into the photo - inserted - with nausealux areas in front of and behind him. This, of course, brings me back to my argument that the Noct is a wonderful tool for use when there is no other way to get the shot in very low light...but otherwise belongs wraped up in the bottom of the camera bag..;-) B. D. And I am picking on the Noctilux, NOT Rei's wonderful photography. :-) - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Peter Klein Sent: Friday, July 19, 2002 11:43 AM To: leica-users-digest@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: Re: [Leica] When f 1 is too mush! For anyone who didn't see them, Rei's series of his kids lying among the autumn leaves are a perfect example of "nausealux syndrome": http://www.shinozuka-family.com/200110autumnlux2/index.html They reminded me of a game I played when I was very little. I liked to spin myself around until I got dizzy. Then I'd lie on my back and look up at the tree branches and sky, and watch them continue to spin around for a while. Poor B.D. got seasick online when Rei posted these. - --Peter Klein Seattle, WA "Rei Shinozuka" <shino@panix.com> wrote: after all that, aren't you going to post examples ?!? perhaps you are talking about the "nauselux" syndrome, where you are focusing at 6 ft, and objects about 12 ft and in the center 3/4" of the frame take on a swirling, motion-filled appearance. i personally find the phenomenon fascinating, but others on this list are less enthusiastic. - - -rei > From: Ted Grant <tedgrant@shaw.ca> > "When f 1.0 is too much out of focus!" > Hi Gang, > An interesting observation when using the Noctilus at f 1.0 creating a > "too much out of focus look" that actually becomes a distraction > compared to the same situation at f 2.0!
