Shot with OW's favorite Sigma 70-300mm, manual focus at Panshet's Moon Point sunrise shoot with OW, Umesh and Shrirang Sir.
The sunrise from this place is just toooo much...!!! Drive down to Panshet from Pune and take a road to Kambegi. Stop at a comfortable point from where you get a view of Panshet backwaters and sunrise. And yess, don't forget to wake up at 5:00am for that :-))
Okay, I accepted the challenge, and boy... wide open @F1.4, manual focus, 85 - these little bastards just keep on movin' and movin' and after few shots I thought I wouldn't get any decent photo. Persistance and practice - that's the key! :)
For the sake of my contacts I won't be uploading all of the successful ones I took today, these 2 are quite enough for this thread: www.flickr.com/groups/vivitar_85_14/discuss/7215762131014...
Test image shot at f2 with a manual focus Voigtländer 75mm f1.5 lens (Leica mount) on an Olympus E-M10II Micro Four Thirds camera.
Manually focussing through reeds whilst shooting a bird that I have not ever seen before is not an easy task hence a crappy photo, but I like it lol :-)
Getting more bold with the manual focus on my Canon EOS camera, in situations where auto focus just isn't cutting it.
Very early in the morning... Me rolling around wet grass looking like a fool to get this shot.. I wanted to capture the different shades of green and the mysterious lighting.. The low lighting made it a little tricky but I managed :-D Manual focus.. Nikon D40... 18-55mm lense.
Taken with my Minolta X-700 manual focus on Fujifilm Provia 100F, the first time I've used this film. It's sharp with a lot of detail, and seems to scan better than Velvia, but the scanner seems to have a harder time auto focusing on it than other films.
The difference between working with my point and shoot digital cameras and film is just amazing . . . I scanned this at 16 bits / channel, 16 pass, looked at the full res (19.5 megapixel) scan, and it didn't need even a touch of noise reduction. Not even in the dark areas. (Skies are a different matter, the film grain really shows up in a solid blue sky.) I did adjust the contrast and and sharpened it a little (I'm trying to decide if I sharpened it too much).

The boys practicing, super long exposure, super dark conditions. I was prepared to give up on the zenit but these shots turned out to be more interesting than I had anticipated. The rewind arm is missing from the camera so I had to pull the film out in my daylight bag, which resulted in some scratches on the negatives.
Matt and Isaac from Odawas stopped by today for some fritters and french fries. The rosemary-garlic fries turned out pretty well - although I'm always thinking of ways to improve my cooking. I flavored the oil with a few cloves and some rosemary but think it might be better to do the initial fry, use a ground garlic salt rosemary seasoning mix, and then do the final flash fry. Or perhaps a rosemary butter garlic dipping sauce? But that would border on unhealthy.
Isaac, a fellow and current Hoosier, agreed that I've got some work to do on my fritter batter. I'm thinking the recipe I have has WAY too much baking powder in it, and that the oil just isn't getting hot enough. Matt, a native Chicagoan, doesn't know the difference. It's sad really.
