Hello.
Have been using my K-5 for 6 months, but find it difficult to get good focus. Have allready got a Katzeye prism screen - skipping autofocus all together.
I´m using a manual M 1:2 85mm lens for most of my pictures. Keeping aperture at 2 - 4.5.
Finding focus at long distance is tricky (8meters and up). It often takes 20-30 pics to get one focus where I want it. Is this something I have to get use to if I use fast lenses at long distance?
I'm a beginner when it comes to dslr´s - do I have to high expectations?:o
How many pictures do You need to get this right??
I often end up taking a few extra pics with random focus, just in case...:)
Thanks

Hello - just taken some photos in Sweden.
Starting to get cold, but there is still leafs on the aspen trees. This creates some fantastic effects at sunrise. I have used a M 1:2 85mm lens, at 2:8. This is how it works:
One need a clear morning with snow or frost on the ground. The motorcycle was parked in the shade of a glassworks brick building. In the background we have the aspen forest that surrounds the area. The timing is crucial. At sunrise the shadows are extremely long – creating a room around the bike, blocking out the sun. The only light here is the blue sky reflected in the ice and snow. The result is a blue, cold surrounding. As the sun gets over the horizon it lights up the yellow leafs of the aspen backdrop – creating a warm light in the forest. This two lights is fighting with the sensor in the camera. So a minor adjustment of white balance is the only thing done in photoshop. This fantastic fenomena is just lasting for a few minutes. As the sun gets higher, the warm light reflected by the leafs will blend with the blue light of the ground. Eventually the snow area will be lit from all kinds of directions, eliminating the reflection from the blue sky. Check out the last picture, taken 15 minutes later than the first ones – the contrast is fading.
Winter is a fantastic time:lol:
