Lucy

Lucy staying still long enough to be manually focused at.

I’m getting quite fond of shooting 35mm film with manual focus primes, it has to be said. The Canon FD 50/1.4 is a nice little lens, and on the F-1 minus the motor drive makes for a fairly compact, balanced setup. It makes me think about the shot I’m trying to make. That’s a good thing for me right now.

Furthermore, I happen to like film grain. Not so much that I’d deliberately add it into all my shots in post, but I’m not going to run screaming from it either. Then again I think the Nikon D70, shot RAW, with good color noise reduction and no luminance noise reduction, makes perfectly fine images at ISO 1600, so I’m probably just strange.
