These are two low-light pictures taken with my new f1.4 Leica 25mm lens. So what’s the big deal?
Because for the first time, I had a lens fast enough to shoot pictures in the house, even in dim light. It may not sound like much to you, but it was a big deal for me.

I think the ONLY time I take “unintended” pictures is when I’m trying a new lens. The rest of the time, even though it may not come out the way I planned, I have something particular in mind, so it was fun to use pictures that really weren’t “real” pictures 😀 Thanks, Cee.

The photos are full of reflections and shadows.

Thanks. That’s what’s so cool about shooting inside. You get all kind of stuff … and there’s so MUCH stuff in the house to shoot.

Good stuff. A flash can ruin a picture sometimes, and completely ruins the mood for shots like this.

I turn my flash off and use the spot meter. MOST of the time, it works very well. Sometimes not, but usually well.

Thank you! This is a good lens for shooting inside. Fast. I was thrilled to get it, even in this case, second hand. So many of my pictures are “in” the house anyway, nice to have a lens that lets me take them brightly 🙂

I loved it, the lighting was perfect and was really enhanced drawing attention to specific. It is astounding how some pictures affect you or simply call to you isn’t it? Sometimes you can’t explain why, it just is! 🙂

Both beautiful shots — especially so the indoors still-life!

Nice! My in-house pictures generally look like crap, and I never was able to figure out how to get the flash to work on my newer camera. At least I’ve learned to move the lamp closer to my “stage” when I’m shooting my critter plays unless I want the actors to look like they’ve got a bad case of mold…

If you have a choice of using a spot meter rather than the regular standard meter, it will solve the problem. I think most cameras let you choose these days, so IF you can figure out where the setting is (and I can’t guarantee it because half the time, I can’t find the settings on my OWN camera!), just point the bright part on the brightest part of the picture and THEN press the shutter. I pretty much won’t use a flash almost ever. I just hate the way it looks. Makes everything flat.

Sometimes, an internal picture turns out to be really interesting. That was really a test photo for the new lens, but I liked it 🙂 Thanks!!
