The Beauty of Rangefinder Photography

[Hacker]

The instant, decisive capture of the moment when the shutter is pressed, is one of the joys I'm learning as an RF newbie. Coupled with the ability for lowlight work, motion can be very easily captured, yet retaining sharpness for the entire picture. My amateur shots for today:

These don't look very low light.

concur with above, 1 thing for sure is i don't see distortion though
they look pretty wide in #1 and #3.

and there are motion blur in #1 and #3, look at his feet.

That lens and M8 combo is absolutely fantastic. Can see that luminous look to the pictures.

Absolutely right. Did not bring the 75AA...on a worldwide search for the E49 UV/IR filter.

If you look at #4, some pro with a model and the MUA is sitting on the bench at left.

35 Lux ASPH appears quite good in handling high contrast:

Rarely, but it depends from picture to picture.

Just wondering, what does MUA mean?

Makeup Artist. I'm assuming here of course. BTW, the MUA looked much better than the model (personal opinion of course).

While my little kid brings so much joy to my wife and I, we faced some sorrows with the lost of my grandmother recently. My tribute to her, following in the footsteps of the Samsui women who were fiercely independent, cared nothing for themselves and devoted their lives for others:

The final moments where the body is led to the flames for cremation. An emotional time for everyone present. Her picture is reflected off the screen, carried by my grandmother's eldest son (my uncle).

I have to clarify that she had the spirit of the Samsui women, but she was not one.
