Manually Focussed Phil

I've been experimenting shooting in manual focusing, rather than using auto focus,

I got Jane to take this shot, so she was manually focusing the camera. There's a really nice "peaking level" feature on the Sony A6000 to help with manual focussing, it highlights the bits that are in focus.

I told Jane to "twiddle the ring until my eyes glow" , she said my ears were glowing, so I said that will do !!

Turned out OK
