Another shot walking the beach, early morning and deserted. This appeared to be some sort of buoy or marker that someone had tied to a fence in the off season. Strange and cool.
Noctilux again, most likely wide open at f1.0 or 1.2. One of the characteristics that is usually seen with this lens is the dark vignetting at the corners when shot at wider apertures. The design of the lens dates back to the mid 60's when "fast" film was Tri-X, ISO 400. Since most users of this lens were using it at the edge of light in concerts or street conditions, the vignetting wasn't easily seen. In daylight though, it's more noticeable. I try to shoot with slow ISO films, allowing me to shoot closer to the maximum aperture.
