Re: Nashville Photos

Thanks Jim,
Actually as I was shooting at the new symphony hall I was amazed I was in Nashville, that building is very nice. The 12 lens is really a nice little lens, if you get it level it is not that bad on distortion, I was very surprised. Look at those photos in the symphony building with those columns and they are relatively straight, considering it is a 12. I debated and debated on getting this or the 15, and now I am quite glad I got the 12. I also debated about the M5...and I must say I am very happy with it, I think it may be my favorite M...gotta wait until the new wears off to be sure though. LOL
The M5 meter really is pretty good, but I have never been one to like in camera metering when shooting chrome. I tend to use a hand held incident meter. To me this has always worked better than in camera meters did for slides. I have to admit that it has been so long since I shot much chrome that I am having to remember how to do it. LOL I need to calibrate my meter for these new films, I have not done so since I shot Velvia (the real 50asa velvia) and E100SW, neither of which are made anymore.
Oh and as for the buildings leaning...well you know we have a lot of hills here in middle Tennessee. ;)

Hey Harrison... are you sure it's Nashville? It looks like Pisa to me!
Just kidding of course - It's amazing how a 12mm lens can topple buildings! 

Great photographs Harrison!!! Awesome!!!
I have a question, even though moot since it's outdoor in the summer sun, but, did you consult the M5 meter? and if so, how close was it to reality?
And, as I tell all of my digits, "there ain't nuthin' like looking at chromes on a light table!" 

:-)

On the Thursday I walked around a small part of downtown Nashville with my new to me M5, some Kodak Ektachrome E100GX and Fujichrome Velvia 100. I made a lot of photos with the 12mm voigtlander lens of the Ryman, and the new Schermerhorn Symphony Center. So you can see Nashville's homes for different kinds of music.

Comments welcome.
It was nice to look at chromes on a light table again, they really do look nice.
