Photography in Johannesburg

Some close up shots with a shallow DOF of my favourite person.

A cool stage backdrop and retro post processing on a set of photos of HOKUM jamming at Rumours. So if you’re getting into photography, you should drop me a link sometime. Photographs of a building in Johannesburg city on a beautiful day. It is easy to focus with what seems to be a sharp lens, has an EV lock (although no light meter), a fold out lens and the advance lever is on the bottom. The Nikon FA is the first Nikon camera to introduce Matrix metering way back in This is the same metering system used throughout their dSLRs today, although Matrix metering is much more advanced today. The system divides the scene into four basic quadrants and also has a fifth spot in the center. It is small enough to slip into a jacket pocket, cheap enough to take into suspect areas without worry, plus it has a basic automatic exposure mode over and above the usual manual controls. This is a cool camera: lightwight, simple to operate, accurate & responsive lightmeter, plus it has a black finish. A few photos from some friends child’s first birthday, Lyra, and a goofy pirate. Okay, so you probably noticed the white blotch that appears in most of the photos. This is from a small tear in the second shutter curtain and varies in intensity depending on how long the shutter is loaded with light coming through the lens. The Nikon F is a benchmark SLR that was introduced in 1959, with this particular model (TTL lightmeter) being released in 1965, and established the F-mount system still used in Nikon SLRs today.
