Another shot from the Branford Festival. It seems if you tape over the prism housing on a Pentax SLR you get mistaken for a professional. I was walking around with the *ist-Ds with the "Classic Leica" lens kit, (lenses with an AOV roughly equivelent to 35mm 58mm and 135mm on a 35mm film camera), when I was approached by this father and son who had just finished the Branford Festival 10K run. They wanted their photos taken, but didn't ask for a print or emailed file or anything it seems. I don't know what they expect me to do with the shot, since I wasn't officially covering the event but I'm posting it here.

A little long portraits but sharp enough, wide open, and very sharp stopped down to about f5.6. Equipment: Pentax *ist-Ds/smc Pentax M 85mm f2.0 As usual comments are welcome but may be totally ignored. -- Vote for Cthulhu.
