All quiet

Frank, great to read something quite poetic, like a little winter haiku! Quite surprised the image isn’t b/w though, to fit the weather and mood…
We had a brief flirtation with snow here yesterday, a few flurries for all of an hour. Then an hour later still and it was all melted and forgotten.
What’s your favourite season for photography?

Spring! No questions! Autumn is Ok for the colors but there’s nothing like spring light.
There’s hope!

Spring is very close – lots of snowdrops and crocus peeping through the cold earth over here…
Re the K10D, an A 50/1.7 certainly shouldn’t be soft. Have you tried it on a film camera?
My focus confirm light (the little polygon on the VF) is reliably accurate and I’ve used it when the light has been too difficult to focus otherwise. I have heard of some cameras (not just the K10D) having issues with “back focusing”
When you Google it there’s lot that comes up…

Dan, pssst, don’t tell: that’s a photo from a Pentax K10D! I struggle with focusing though. The A SMC 50 1.7 seems very soft. And I think I’ll turn off the focusing aid as it gets it wrong mostly. Or can it be my camera????
When I do color I mostly prefer it subdued.

Dan, I took along my 55 1.8 Takumar today and focus is spot on…. strange. I’ll do some more tests with the lenses.
I’d love to have a real focusing screen with all the bells and whistles. Microprisms and split screen…

Wish we had some snow that settled, it’s always a media sensation and the whole country breaks down when it snows.

Same here, three centimeters of snow and the country grinds to a stop…. pathetic

Nonsense! 🙂 Snow fight, sledging, little drifting, it was a really good day over a long time.
Now I hope that there will be more snow followed by good cold sunny weather and I can finally make good winter pictures.
The low contrast grey is really not interesting.
