got an m42->pk adapter and put the funny gigantic vivitar 85-205 f3.8 on it.
NOT a fun setup to hold its TOO heavy.
but dang it sure can portrait nice. this shot was at 205mm & wide open and is def a bit too compressed for portraiture, it squishes Finn's face pretty flat. but dang look at that tasteful softness.
(this was the best shot out of 20 i took of the cats. would like to try this lens outside and at tighter apertures but its a heat index 110f day today so NO.)
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
