You caught a good moment - and just the right DOF! Nice work.

Thank you, Leon!
A moment later the boy looked more in my direction, but obviously I was not ready - rewinding the film takes some time ;o

Ces longues focales permettent de saisir à la volée des expressions intéressantes... Une belle prise de vue

Merci beaucoup!

I like the sideways glance. The lens looks sharp for a mirror type. The narrow DOF really brings out the face.

Thank you, Stephen.
I plan to shoot more faces like that. Our market square will be a good place to start :)

Thats impressive -I have a later version of the 500mm Soviet mirror, a 3M 5A, and got some good stuff with it, but it never got used much in England as there is never so much light...

Thank you very much, Richard!
But you do not need that much light for f8!
Actually it is my favorite aperture for most of my shots taken on dark, gloomy days here in Poland.
And this boy was hiding in deep shadows, still the lens / camera combo managed the scene alright :)

Lovely portrait. He looks very alert. A real "poster boy" for the scouts ;-)

Thank you, Sarah!

I would say a successful test, as well as a fantastic candid photo!

Thank you, Scott!
There will be more, I hope :)

Awesome shot!
