Riding Shotgun

ramblings from the passenger's seat

So last night after 'Love, Sex and Eating Bones' I wandered the streets taking pictures of the dark, the moon, some trees and a streetlight. Auto-focus however cut me off at the pass and ambushed me. Don't get me wrong I love my camera it's brilliant but...sometimes I wish it were a straight-up no strings attached slr. Rather then a zlr. The difference is one of control. The zlr gives you enough control to get by without making you work to hard. The slr gives you more control but also more responsibility, it's harder to use but sometimes, ie last night, it's worth it to be able to actually focus it wherever and have that complete control of shutter speed. Alas I was only using 400iso film which is probably not what your meant to use for night photography anyways. We shall see.
