For a night shot, the ISO struck me as being verrrrrryyyyy low at 125. But where I really became confused is the f/0.7. Can you explain that please?

the F/0.7 has to be an error, I used my 135L f/2.0 for the shot. A 135mm f/0.7 would be very nice...

I added numbers to the post to make discussion easier.

Nice set. I especially like #5 for its composition and energy. I also like the way a few faces emerge from the dark in #2.

Thanks a lot Richard

Good shooting, Nelson. For me, #7 takes the cake. The expression so fits the getup.

Thanks for the reply... Yes, a 135/.7 would be awesome.

I'm going with the last one, #7 as my favorite since it's so festive, great colors and comp. Number five comes a close second 'cause I'm hungry and that looks like some great food with patiently waiting customers.

It also would weigh about 40 pounds.
