Please what is DFAS, but interesting look at the backpack

For almost one year Linda told me about DFAS. That is what she told me:
"DFAS is the acronym for "Desperate For A Shot", like it's late, and you haven't taken a picture yet and are trying to depserately find something to shoot. Know the feeling already?"

Nice rich brown and tight focus. My camera does not have that amount of control over depth-of-focus.

Oh, my. That sounds scary http://files.myopera.com/Tamil/Smilies/Scared.gif -
Then maybe one should just close the eyes, point the camera arbitrary somewhere and shoot

Although this one is much better. Just find nice colors and light, and take a close up photo.

great idea! Maybe I try it the next time before I get desperate!

I agree sometimes I try too

Welcome to the DFAS Club...

f/1.4 ? WOW! I envy you!

derspecht # Friday, February 19, 2010 11:33:12 PM

yep, and the depth of field is very small at f1.4!

I know! I have a AF-S Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G DX, and DOF is so shallow! An f/1.4 Carl Zeiss Planar 50mm is superb!

oh, I thought I told you. It is a Carl Zeiss Planar 1.4/50mm manual focus. Great lens!
too slow!

I have found that it is completely different the way you shoot with a zoom lens or with a prime lens.
I'm "falling in love" with my 35mm! It's razor sharp!
