A million tiny threads pulling at the fabric holding the day together. Any one of them with the potential to unravel the entire effort. Its a minor miracle anything is left after the needs of the day are met and the film is in the can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The chance to shoot with a truly unique lens today represented the only opportunity to quickly have a few moments of fun. The Noctilux-M 50mm ASPH f\/0.95 is the fastest camera lens in production. Surpassing the speed of the human eye by four times (the eye can see as wide as f\/2.1 in the dark and f\/8.3 in bright daylight). The name comes from the Latin \u201clight of the night\u201d since at that speed you can practically shoot in the dark. With such a shallow depth of field it has a bokeh that is very unique. A portrait lens that allows the photographer to come close (50mm) to the subject while creating a drop off that is more reminiscent of a 300mm lens. Extreme compression while still allowing an intimate distance from the subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My simple process today \u2013 the chance to play, just a bit, with this wonder of polished glass and finely machined steel and brass. Just holding such a densely precise element left me a little speechless. Imagining the possibilities \u2013 I don\u2019t have to go far to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My subject today was right behind me. An easy arm\u2019s length away.
