Phot For The Day
Manual Focus Perils
This photo amuses me every time I go in to the railway archive folder. Taken with a Voigtlander Bessa 66 in the early 1970's at Buxton. If it were a portrait the manual distance setting would be endearing. The face of the loco is in perfect focus. But on what is obviously such a dull day the F stop was far too low to give any depth of field.. Rendering the whole picture irritating to look at.
The other thing that can be seen even in Black & White is the blue paint if the loco is nothing like the correct "Rail Blue". Where did they get the paint from? B & Q?
