Hi Sharps, good attempt, another component to making any "look" be it leica or otherwise is an acute understanding of exposure theory. Please note that Leica is not a fancy matrix metering system, but rather a very simple center weighted meter (from dinosaur days). Where a fancy DSLR with alarm clock and facebook app, will calculate all the light values for you and come out with the perfectly exposed shot, your leica, having a center weighted meter, has severely underexposed the shot, because it only saw the bright light and said "hey, its bright so I need to expose it according to the flame". This made the whole scene then too dark.

To create the look that you are after, you need to first understand how to use your new tool and it starts with proper exposure, as a photograph is really only a recording of light and dark.

I wont go into exposure theory here but one good thing to bear in mind "expose for shadows and develop for highlights) which in short, means you should point the camera at the shadow areas (not the darkest deepest shadow area, but somewhere inbetween), set the camera, dont touch the settings, recompose on the flame then shoot. This would give you a more properly exposed low light photo.

A little while ago, I advised another CSer on the same. Here is a good site to understand exposure theory and how to meter approriately.

Try reading up on it and I would be happy to answer any questions that you may have or anything that you dont really understand.

yesterday had a shooting at a function in a resort
started from evening, during tat time , it was a real breeze to shoot
very easy, most of the pictures were sharp n usable
come late night, spotlights coming from weird angles causing most of my pic to be blurred, over n underexposed
had to push up the iso to 1250, very noisy
and i notice, there is a vertical line in most of the pics, more noticeable during high ISO
whats tat ar?

Hi sharps, why don't you start another thread on this and post up your shots? I think we shouldn't clog up "share your rf shots" with technique talk. Let's leave this for rf shots

From there I am sure, everyone will be happy to advise you and it should be an interesting thread for many rf newbies as well Anyways we need to see the shots to figure out what you mean.

Hey guys! Just went to collect my first developed roll today. So am here to share some shots. And I'm facing an issue here. As I've showed 1 of my friend my shots, he said that my shots are oversharpened. Then he send his shot over to let me see, however both shots appear to be the same quality on my macbook. Is it because I never calibrate my mac or is it because of the different viewpoint from windows and mac?
