Very cool indeed. I need to practice my manual focus more. I got a 500mm for Christmas, but don't use it much because it's manual focus, and I struggle with it. Will now gave ti get it out tomorrow and practice.
Worked well, and I really like your comp. I find I use manual focus more and more. Partly because I have to with the lensbaby, and then because I like to with my macro lens. It opens up some different vistas that I just don't see with autofocus. Thanks to Annie @annied who convinced me to try it more often ;)
@izzyromilly@flygirl@flygirl@hjv thanks for commenting. I don't do any manual focus so I think I need to keep it up too! it was gorgeous light this afternoon!
