Fun to shoot in low light, is it not?

I thought that 3, 4, 6, 7 and the last shot were good. The others seemed a bit oof or soft.

Yes indeed, I feel weird but I love manual focusing in low light. I feel like a child playing . And oh boy is it rewarding when you get it right .

I agree the photos are not the best but still learning. Being so close to the subject and at apertures between f/1.4-f/2.8 the DOF is not really forgiving.

Thanks for the comments

I think you doing very decent :-)

I just get an old Auto-Takumar 55/1.8 and it's tough to shoot " dead" objects

I don't even think about "live" and low light .... yet.... LOL
