opps, not sure what to say ! Love your photo with the T and Nikkor lenses, sharp and good colors. Just a question about focusing: do you focus wide opened and than close the aperture before shooting or do you have any other procedure?

When I tested the T in a shop I found manual focusing easy enough wide open, but more difficult when stopped down.

PS: yes, it's a good photo :)

:) Thanks very much, Robert.

 

Indeed, focusing is very easy with T and its magnifier. In the beginning when I had the camera, I was hoping for a focus peaking, but very soon I realized this option is really not much needed  with the magnifier and the excellent Visoflex.

 

As you mentioned, I always focus with wide open lens to make sure my main subject is in focus; then, depending on how much shallow background I chose, I turn the aperture! 

 

Thanks again for your feedback.

Nice event that you came across Louis.

But more a merit of the ones that invented and wear these trousers than a merit of the photographer. I really like your work thus far Louis but this is photographically not much of an achievement

Dear otto, you are totally right! Very often, a photographer must be lucky enough to be at a right place and time to just push the little button! :)

I am sure that most of the people with a camera would have taken this shot only because it was amusing, in my humble opinion! ;)

I would, as I am sure many others would, take the picture of an UFO landing, if I had that chance; and, of course, I wouldn't deserve any credit as a photographer since I was just happened to be there when it happened! ;)
