Autumn explodes
Autumn explodes
Autumn explodes, albeit on a very dreary, very wet day. Yet more Lensbaby practice. Focusing at this distance is very much a challenge, especially with so much fine detail going on. It’s very difficult to determine precisely where the focal point is, and that’s assuming of course that your viewfinder’s diopter settings are spot on. In this instance I’ve drifted very slightly to the left of the base of the tree. I live and I learn.

Pheasant and ham Torbock’s pie
This week’s obtuse title (it’s what some bint was cooking on Britain’s Best Dish while I was cropping this). More practice with the Lensbaby. Because it is strictly manual focus there is definitely a steep learning curve to be had, not least of all because there is no way to determine the precise focal point other than through the viewfinder. Finding it easier at close range, as here, rather than longer distances (next photo).
