PESO - First Day of School

This is my son Peter on his first day of school: the goof forgot to button half of his shirt, so I snapped a photo. This is taken with a Pentax P30t with a 50mm 1.4 lens, no cropping or editing. I can't decide if I like it in color or black and white, which is the next photo over. All comments

I like the color version, but for good reason: Aside from your boy's skin tones, the rest of the image is almost monochromatic blue tones. His clothes are blue, and the shade that the scene is in makes everything else look blue- ish. Thus, the saturated warm tones of his skin and hair make a

Form manual focus, if you have the viewfinder adjustment in sharp focus, the usual issue is wide-open contrast of a given lens. I find the focus indicator is right on the money for lenses in the f/ 2.8 to f/4 range, but isn't accurate enough to use it alone with an f/ 1.4-f/2 lens wide open.

I ignore it all the time. I have not found it's accuracy to the level that I require. It seems to have a wider range of acceptable focus than works for me. So I just focus manually as I always have. My preference is for a plain matte screen, so the supplied screen is not too bad for me. --
