Ok time for a barrage
I took a lot of shots while my brother and his family were in town from Ottawa , I skulked around the farewell dinner and used my Metz MZ40 on its 1 metre cord/lead along with my zone focused summicron 50 ( set for 1.5-3 metres at f5.6)
I dont normally like flash , but i a case of serendipity I discovered something I liked , the B+W portrait with the background totally dark . ( oh , the luck was I had the camera on DNG+ B/W JPG and the first shots looked cool with a portrait in space)
I wont spam the forum so Ill upload a few at a time.
here are the first few I liked
My mom photobombed me as i was setting up a shot, I saw she would so I set the lens at min focus distance to grab her, aged 69 and still a goof
My youngest brother in the kitchen after cooking the meal
My 5 yr old Nephew , yes I was on the floor holding the flash underneath us
My 8 yr old daughter watching someone play
My sister in law from Ottawa who is extremely camera shy " I never take good pictures!!" , but I managed to grab a flattering and demure shot of her, I hope she likes it , hope you all do too
Lots of B+W this week
Monochroms , M9s and M8s , oh my!
