Day 177: Amused. My m42 adapter finally came for the 5d. These lenses really show their stuff when used with a full frame sensor (they were designed for film cameras). This shot is with the Jupiter 9, 85mm f/2 lens. It gets pretty sharp by f/4, and has a 16 bladed aperture for smooth bokeh at any aperture.
Note: The exif data for this shows 50mm f/2 as that value is hard coded into the chip in the adapter to allow focus confirmation in the viewfinder. This shot was at 85mm f/4.
I watched Spiff's WoW video for Jonathan Coulton's "Dance, Soterios Johnson, Dance" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZ4Oycujt7k) and received the advertisement in the video. I am highly amused. The advertisement leads to the Rifftrax site, by the way. That's probably the first ad I've ever clicked intentionally.
Jaden, Talysha, and Camie laughing at a video. Everyone was suppossed to get ready for our prop dance...which is tires and inner tubes :)
So far this project has been made up of 3 sessions of about 30 mins photographing passers-by while standing more or less on the same spot at the intersection of Briggate and the Headrow, Leeds.
No more than 30mins photography is possible because after that the light that angles along the Headrow is gone. Each session has yielded 19 usable photos.
I have had real difficulty defining for myself what I think the project is all about. It seems to me if it isn't obvious, then it isn't working. But tonight's session yielded some really interesting discussions with some of the passers-by (some of whom were amused, some decidedly unamused.)
Those discussions gave me some confidence that the project is worth continuing and completing (whatever that means.)
