To get to the metadata, just look at the base iso, then click actions, see exif info > It shows, e.g. in > http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/5260309176/sizes/l/in/photostream/ . http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/5260309176/meta 77mm/1.8 ISO 400 1/50 > - One eye is in focus, and the other is not. > It might be the fault of the AF (but it is not focused on any other > object). > I see a similar effect here: > http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/5259699237/sizes/o/in/set-72157625595687808/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/5259699237/meta 77/1.8 ISO 320 1/60 > The focus on the dress print on her chest, - while both the face and > the hands are out of focus. > > The same situation is here: > http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/5260309972/sizes/l/in/set-72157625595687808/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/5260309972/meta/ 135mm and I was probably shooting f/2.5 ISO 1600 1/50 For reference, that's my Takumar (bayonet) 135/2.5 that I picked up for $70 on ebay.

Those photos that I got of Lavay Smith, you'll notice that they aren't in here, or in the facebook set. That's because autofocus locked on to the mic. When I'm shooting for a night, I do try to remember to vary my ISO so that I've got my choice of low noise and depth of field, or shutter speed. Oddly, I don't see whether it's auto, or manual focus in the exif. That's something that I wish I could sort by in lightroom to see who blew the focus on shots, me, or the camera. > > Igor > > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
