I agree.  Mike used Leica M8 camera (I think) with B/W Tmax film.

Hey!

   Yes, I love those too. Those are from one of the Rave

   This is my favorite of Mark's expression...



   ... oh! and that is me on the right.

   Nicely captured people in that fun moment in time.

Take care,

Nice stuff. A film camera. Film FiLM!!!!! Did I say Film... Time and expense!

Though I could give a digital shoot the same feeling with a batch action in about 1 minute.
Mike

What speed film, looks high like 1600...

Allrighty, let's see some!

[Levi]

I think that's Tmax 400?  I am not exactly sure. 

[mcullinan]

My lil one!
 

[Levi]

Nice Mike.

Is that taken with M8 and Tmax ? 

[mcullinan]

Oops I made it funky..
Canon EOS 10D 6 megapixel... but we dont print larger than 8 x 10 ever so its good enough. Not a bad lil camera for its day.

Those do look great!  Sometimes you just can't beat good old B&W film.

I wonder if I could get similar results on my 5D by using an ISO of 3200, raise the contrast and shoot in B&W?    Only one way to find out I guess... 

[nathanm]

Pfffft!   Okay now, do one for real.

Thanks for all your compliments. The way the photos turned out was accidental. I was using a Leica M4 with no meters, so my metering was off, but luckily, the film Tri-X can be very forgiving. Therefore it has a grainy look. It is a good thing that nobody noticed I was taking pictures, so I was able to make some candid shots...especially the one with Mark.

[Levi]

Thanks for the equipment correction Michael. 

You are being modest.  Those are great memorable photos

Hey!

   And that is the beauty of Leica M series rangefinder camera. With is compact size and near silent shutter its excellent for this type of photography. Very hard to beat.

   Many of memorable candid photos were taken with these beautiful camera. Talking about this type of camera and this type of photography reminded me of those photos taken by Henri Cartier-Bresson and his Leica with mostly 50mm lens.

   Great job SunnyDay/Michael.

Take care,
Buddy
