borrowing my brothers old nikon d3200. using it with my Arsat H 50mm f/2. the camera can't meter through it, the focus assist dot has a hard time being accurate in anything but bright light, and the lens itself has sticky aperture blades so it's always firing wide open. went on a walk with this setup, it's very nicely compact. took pictures with exposure determined by vibe and these are the best results. it's a novel set of limitations to work with, different from how the digicams limit me.
oh yeah also, it has 24mpx resolution? which is way higher than anything i've used before o . O, 50% more than the Df had. It almost feels like too many pixels but my computer handles it just fine, only slightly slower than the 16mpx i'm used to, and it gives me more room to work with for cropping so it's more useful than not.
it doesnt look like this at all in person
the dither goes silly on this one (first image dithered gif second image jpg)
dead end of mall. behind a fairly busy intersection. we sat on those little tables staring forward at the plastic wall for about an hour. many passersby were confused, concerned, scared, or just plain amused. we didn't really mean to commit to the idea for so long it just sorta happened.
28mm 2.8 manual focus k mount its capable of being p sharp
surprisingly few of these left unedited in the backlog. i take this exact shot so often. i'll prbobably figure out a place online to put them all next to each other someday
the final product is nothing what the preview window looked like. experimenting with masked sections of posterization and sections of dither
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
