Anzac Day - Toowoomba


I tried to get a picture of this fine gentlemean earlier and failed. Suddenly there he was and I shot this from the hip. With the superfast film I was using and the aperture set on f/22, the Skopar 25 gave me enough depth of field that I didn't need to focus.

Bessa-L, Neopan 1600
D76 1+1, 9 min. 20ºC

And a good result. You must be enjoying the Bessa, too.

I'd say that these are the settings that work for this kind of candid photography. There really isn't enough time to fiddle with a focusing ring.

Mind you I've been using a setting any where from 5 to 10 metres and f8 as my zone. Sometimes things work out, sometimes not.
