So, you guys inspired me to shoot street photos. I have always been a Studio Ad guy. But No, now I am Wonder Street Shooter. Well not really, but it was fun!!!

Same roll, TriX in Diafine. f/1.2 at 1250 asa.

Love the Bass player shot.
Tell me, was the wonderful Bass player exposure deliberate for the effect, or did it all 'just come together'.

Thanks you guys for the kind words... it really is Fun!!

Steve F ... Well the light was low ... real low.... So I opened up to f1.2 and set it to 1/8 (thinking that is as slow as I can hold) and shot 2 frames on TriX at 1200 asa. The Photo Gods shined on me ...

Unless you're a client ... then ... Ahem ... "Years of professional experience gave me just the right compensation for the film, developer, lighting & your end purpose of half tone over 4 color." But that's not true. HA!

Great work Steve, I also love shooting musicians at low light and often meter for the highlights and leave my apertures alone unless the lights keep changing.

enjoy and happy shooting on film !!

Hey Todd ... Leica M6ttl ... Canon f/1.2 ... TriX in Diafine. Street light. Even the guy on the ground is lit by street lights. Geez... the 1.2 can see in the dark ...
