Nice shot Matt, would be interested to know what metering you used here? Her nose seems to be sharply in focus and the eyes just SLIGHTLY out of focus, did you intend for this? How old is dog? Grey is setting in, just like my doggie! Mans best friend..for sure! Keep up the great work, and keep posting more images!

Geoff.

Great photo.

When I first put my 50mm onto the D70, the camera didn't feel right.
Too short, too light; a little bit weired.
But the sharpness and speed are rewarding.

Thanks christiand and Geoff,

When I got it out of the box it seemed a little funny, but it is great so far.

The only gripe is I find the AF a little odd, seems to be better in manual focusing. But probably just me .

Geoff, She's 8 years old now still acts like a puppy poorly trained and loves people especially kids.

The nose was not supposed to be the focal point but I was useing pattern metering mode according to the picture properties.

There must be an easier why to extra the picture properties, cut and past the results???

I have exactly the same experience with my 50mm 1.8 - manual focus seems to produce better results in a number of cases. Although I did notice that on one occasion when I thought I had it in auto focus, the exif actually said it was in manual focus, so perhaps there's an issue with checking after you change from one to the other.

However, I did get some really good almost zero light shots at the war memorial, which I intend to post, just as soon as I get a spare half hour or so to resize them for web.

Hi Matt. Nice pic of your mate . I know what you mean about the dog getting sick of the camera getting pointed at it. As soon as I get mine out and point it at mine, it turns away and ignores me now Used to show great interest. I have a 12 year old Cardigan Corgi who loves saying hello to eveyone he meets.
