i got an autofocus lens to make my life on the job easier, the nikon 35mm f/2D.
I'd say like, 10-20% of the time the autofocus noticeably failed, but for the rest of the time it's really made my workflow easier. I can actually shoot at wide apertures and have people in focus! No more guessing my focus in the darkness and no more tight apertures resulting in high ISOs!
In hindsight, I realized I should be shooting with autofocus on shutter disabled and just use the AF button and take over the focus with manual at the soonest sign that the AF was crapping out. This is the theme of my rave assignments, it's 5 hours of grinding photos, I learn a lot fast both during and after the shoot.
Luckily, a few of the times AF failed me turned out to be fun shots, like this one.
Not settled yet on a consistent editing theme for em all so this one is edited pretty neutrally.
that's much better. shooting at iso 12800 in the daylight
ehhh. the ones of nifty thru the fence and liz popping off at getting a honk from a truck turned out nice though (the thin depth of field makes me feel ill) (even though it looks Good) (remember when i used to like it? lol)
BEWARE
walm art
editing way lazy but maybe the better way to look at it is i'm sharpening my "edit quickly" skills
crushing out more detail
this area's in an 'extreme drought' i think
i would consider these shots somewhat hastily edited but i got what i wanted which is the skies having a full range of tones from black to white
next time i went back to https://streak.club/p/59903/words-places-by-999999999
someone added to the bit by smashing up the shelves and blocking off the door
ultra close crop on the lips one

@(: ye the AF-ON button does that default, I loooove how this camera has physical buttons dials and levers for even the more obscure settings
i like to assign the AE-L/AF-L to autofocus and disable autofocus everywhere else. that way i can shoot pictures very quickly and in all situations without the need to change my settings. you mentioned using an AF button, is it the Df AF-ON button and does it do what i described out of the box? if so, that's rly cool, none of my nikon camera has that
(nice picture, i like blur :D)
