my thought is that she is perfect but I would crop down a bit more to

I know you try not to crop these shots after the camera so its just my

 flawed aesthetics.

This one required cropping, so I already cropped it to square.  I'll
try your suggestion and see how it works.

Thanks for the comment!

 I'd agree that ~she~ is.  I have to say, she was the most beautiful
 girl in the bar last night.

the image of her is perfect in my eyes.  the missed focus on the eyes
seems to add to the pensive, far away look.

I was shooting with the A50mm f1.7, so I didn't have to get that close
- she was maybe 4 or 5 feet way.  I focused manually, pointed at her
and she didn't seem to notice, so I snapped.

Sometimes they notice (as you can see in my Bovine Sex Club GESO that
I just posted) sometimes they don't (like the two barmaids);  either
way the photo can be interesting.

I guess I just try to look natural, always keep the camera out in the
open (so it's no big deal when I put it up to my face) and don't make
any sudden movements.  After I take a shot or two, I calmly put the
camera down as if nothing happened.  Surprising how often I'm ~not~
noticed.

Thanks for the comment, Bob!

cheers,
frank

PESO: Pensive

hi,

i kind of got enabled a couple of days back. happened to get myself a
k30/2.8 lens in good condition for a fairly throwaway price. just a
couple of shots of the junior with the 'new' lens (i guess i cheated,
it's actually two pesos):

the pensive one:

the not so pensive one (slightly cropped):

both, K10D, K30/2.8, aperture either 4 or 5.6, RAW, Digikam/Linux

welcome and appreciate your comments,

I think it's one of the nicest lenses Pentax has ever made in that focal 
length, (~28mm).  I don't use mine nearly enough since I shoot mostly 
digital.

Re: PESO: Pensive

2008-07-20 Thread P. J. Alling
It's more or less a normal lens on the APS-C sensor cameras, (true 
normal equivalent to the 43mm on film), and a relatively slow normal 
lens at that.  I currently carry an A 24mm f2.8 for a wide, 43 ltd.as a 
longish normal and the M 85 f2 for a nice general telephoto as my 
walking around kit.  There really isn't a place in that lineup for the 
30mm.  Now if my widest rectilinear prime was a 20mm then I could 
replace the 43mm with the 30mm or the 35mm f2.0..
