Certainly having been involved with literally hundreds of photographers during more "party moments" than I can remember, yes of course because of some, "we might say, Over indulgence! ;-) There can only be one answer to your question, its always the same no matter when or where. >>>>>>> 3) I was too drunk? <<<<<<< Yep that's it right there! :-) But you'll get over it! :-) ted -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Nathan Wajsman Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2008 8:15 AM To: Leica Users Group Subject: [Leica] Now I know why the filters are needed on the M8 :-) Last night we had the annual Christmas Quiz in a local bar, arranged for the 10th year in a row by two English guys at work. For me, this was the second time around, and disappointingly our team came in either last or next-to-last. Anyway, I took about 80 pics with my M8 and the 50mm Summilux that arrived the day before. My UV/IR filters are not here yet, so I got a good flavour of why they were needed. Of course, the light in the bar was horrible and dim, and so black came out as not black. A couple of the pictures of a woman at my table leads me to ask the following: if her allegedly black hair has a purple tint, should I conclude that: 1) She was wearing a polyester wig? 2) She had coloured her hair and so the M8 was reacting to the chemicals she used? 3) I was too drunk?
