I believe it would be a better portrait in a square format, minus about a fourth of the image from the LH side. A concerned look BTW.

Re: PESO 2009 - 079 - GDG
Thanks Walter. The focusing was mostly guesswork ... You only have three means of controlling the focus on this camera: - aim carefully knowing the AF hot spot - lock focus and exposure with a half press and reframe, press the shutter the rest of the way - lock the focus to infinity and control the focus zone with aperture I'm pretty familiar with the Contax Tix' AF system and simply tried to get myself into the right "slightly north of center" AF focusing point. I figured that with the light available it would likely run wide open or close to it on exposure, so trying to prefocus and turn it around in my hands wasn't going to work, and the AF system is very accurate if you get it targeted right. Godfrey From: Walter Hamler Nice capture. I especially like the way the camera caught your eyes in perfect focus. Did you plan that, and if so, how?
