...don't forget, that concert shots need minus esposure corretion to avoid "pancake faces", due to the dark background and very bright lights! Usually about two stops. All the best

Some of you may recall that I was going to be shooting a friend of mine in concert last weekend.
And, so I did. Got back the contacts today, and I'm mostly okay with them -
not a real high yield, but the lighting was horrendous, and the LX was
having trouble dealing with some situations. I was shooting Fuji Neopan
1600 at 3200, and I'm happy with the way that the film turned out.
The best shots, exposure-wise, were these portrait-type ones, where her face
filled much of the frame - I think that made it easier for the LX to figure
the exposure. There were a couple of wider shots where I took a couple, one
after the other, and I could hear that one of the exposures were ~real~ long
- the meter said it was 1/60th, but the actual exposure sounded much more
like 1/15th, and the over-exposed contact said maybe I was right. Then, the
next shot, made immediately after, was fine. But, with such harsh lighting,
I guess that's to be expected. That's why I shot 3 rolls.

Don't forget, scanned from contact sheet - the neg actually looks pretty sharp, and has more detail and shading. I think the prints will be okay. Taken with the Takumar Bayonet 2.5 135mm ("the dog" <g>) wide open, hand held on auto.
Also got back several rolls from the ice race - which I probably won't scan from the contact, but we'll see what prints I get. I'm pretty happy with those.
Plus, got back a roll of APX 100 that I went street shooting with, and I'm picking up an 8x10 that will be my PAW tomorrow.
I love getting back lots of film all at once. I know that digital gives it back immediately, but the anticipation of film is wonderful! <vbg>
cheers, frank
