My Mate, Bill

[Rob MacKillop]

Bill came through from Dundee for a guitar lesson. He's a good friend, so it was great to see him. I was showing him the DP3 Quattro, and took a very quick snap. So, this is not an attempt at a studied portrait. Not bad for a quickie.

Not bad at all. Interesting that one eye is so out of focus behind his glasses.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Hmm. Yes. Bad lens? Fogged glasses?

 

[John Allen]

Nice shot. Looks like someone I would like at first meeting.

Looks like it might be a bit front-focused. The tip of the nose is the sharpest thing in the photo. The exif says f/4 so I assume you were really close to him for this shot to get that shallow dof.

Funny guy. Retired astronomer, kayak maker, and lute and guitar player.

It was just a quick snap, honest, guys. No thought. I didn't even know what f stop I was at. But I would like to do a proper one of him, but he's headed back to Dundee now.

Whatever you try to do with McQuattro, you seem to get away with it even though you stumble.... He seems to be a great guy too.
