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.
and that finishes what we started back in october. there's various other photoshoots i've been avoiding touching but I think I'm ready to get em done now.
coming back to this shoot with a better idea of how to edit it
more year old photos
redgraph can really be foul huh
without a prominent red in the scene getting the balance right between the two shots is very vibes
what is a redgraph? it's one photo taken with a red filter, one with no filter, then the difference between the two becomes the green and blue layers and the red one is the red layer. then a little bit more editing and voila, it's horrifying! for extra fun i took a buncha redgraphs without a tripod so everything has that anaglyph 3d eyesore to it!
its like a trichrome without the tri part?? it's a less-involved and more loose version of a thing I did nearly a year ago: https://streak.club/p/56991/trichrome-by-999999999
image #3 with bouba has some masking stuff going on to bring out midgrey detail in the environment but still keep her fur contrasty black and white im proud of the result

@(: 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)
