Armchair photo
Fuji X-Pro1 plus Helios 44M-7 wide-open. All I did was to visually translate the idea of a camera I had in my mind. I did not create this camera (being around for almost 20 years) or this lens (60 years). But I defined the lighting and determined the angle of view. And, since this is a close-up and a hand-held shot and in order to avoid camera shake, I set the aperture to F2 with a high ISO count leading to a fast shutter speed. A camera is essentially a box with a hole in it (filled with a lens, of course) through which light can enter. All we need to do is to catch the light in such a way that it makes us see.
