That is is you keep your eyes open and you camera is ready. This shot dates from around 1984 when auto focus and auto anything were still in the future and i fought auto focus tooth and nail and still hate it. In those days we used so called hyper focus settings on our lenses using the depth of field scale and aligning your F stop to the infinity marker so that you had a great area in which all was in focus. more or less. I used my newly purchased used Nikon S-2 with a superb Nikkor 35mm F 3.5 and my trusted Tri-X. This person just happened to be running flipping arms and scarf like a bird. I just took the shot. One, that is. No motor drives or other tools that have made photography the realm of medicrities.
Greetings, this blog is dedicated to my life in photography and my passion for good Italian food.. I want to make this a place to stop and relax. In the hope that this will provide some respite and peace. Thank you for visiting.
