Self Reflections

Today was the last Wine and Art show of the season. I decided to commit to old manual focus prime lenses for the day. I used a Nikkor 24mm f2.8 and 85mm f2. Damn sharp glass. I didn't think it they would make a difference in the pictures, but they actually do. It also forces me to work differently. I have to look for pictures that match the lens I'm using at the moment and switch lenses when the flow changes.

 

Sticking with this fire truck subject for a while was also interesting. I tried getting close, far, pre-focusing and staying in one spot, and waiting . I could have stayed with it from morning until evening and gotten a good story out of it.
