Cherry Blossom Portraits #1
I missed the focus here. It's on the wrong eye, but in my defense, It's quite hard focusing precisely with a manual lens at f/1.8. The live view focus peaking on my K-50 works, but it's of a low resolution. It's hard to tell when it's really sharp.

Have a great day!
Ah, I know that frustration! Guess you'll have to go out and get more beautiful shots of the model! ;)
Yes. She was a stranger I asked to pose. But I have her on facebook now :P
Well, you've got a good opening for a reshoot then! Probably best not to call it a reshoot though, another new shoot. :)
It might sounds a stupid question, but why don't you use manual phocus? Or the lens doesn't support it?
it's a manual focus lens
oh, I see, thanks
Live view focus peaking is more precise than using the viewfinder when doing manual focusing.
that's why I try to use it always, especially considering my weak eyes.
By the way, your model looks very beautiful, and her colortype match the colors of nature :)
I tried to convince my daughter to shoot her with the trees' blossom, I thought it would be lovely, but she just said: mom, it's too obvious ))
Perfect click
thanks!
You are looking good :)
You can see me in her glasses reflection that clearly?
Amazing pictures! You're so talented!
thanks!
She looks fine to me in or out of focus. :-)
