the whole roll - #6
Pentax ME Super - 50mm f1.4 - Kodak Portra 160
Shot in Iceland.
This was my second roll of Portra 160, and my second roll with the 50mm f1.4 Pentax. At this stage I clearly still have a lot to learn about this lens. In some dimmer conditions, I found myself shooting scenes at around 20-30' at f1.4. In this range, at this aperture, I struggled to keep the lens in focus. Part of my difficulty came from the focus ring jumping from 15' to infinity focus within about a tenth of a turn. This made it very difficult to be accurate anywhere in between, and with the shallow DOF of f1.4 I sometimes wasn't precise enough.
So...I missed a few. But hey, you live and you learn. That's what this is all about. Keep following for two more rolls from Iceland coming soon, including something other than Kodak Portra...wild, I know.
