Gimmick or is that the actual best way to do it? LOL never seen that technique before. Very cool.

just some random shots back in febraury from tokyo. will be going again in a few days. hope to get some better pictures.









my canon fd f1.4 has some aperture problems so i sometimes have a hard time getting a good shot. combine that with a noob using a manual lens and this is what you get. oh well.

Depending on what camera you're using (I assume some sort of Canon DSLR), live view zoom is usually the only way to really nail manual focus. I know for me and the 5D3, the focusing screen isn't interchangeable and manual focusing is a bit of a pain.

If you're doing product/food shots anyways, using live view is usually the best way with manual focus, I find.

it's actually a nex-5 mounted with a fd adapter. nailing manual focus with it is a bit of a crapshoot and a pain. i usually wont know how the picture turns out till i get to a computer

did not even know the nex-5 had focus peaking till you mentioned it. looks like i'll need to update my firmware. thanks! it'll help a lot for sure now.

Focus peaking is really good on the Nex series. I use it all the time when I needed to manual focus.

Oyster Shooter with Quail Egg (actually my first time trying it out; kinda hesitant gulping it because of the raw quail egg which I never had before)

What kind of focal lengths do you guys find you use the most for food photography? If you are hoping to be sitting a table and shoot your dinner in front of you even on a full frame I find 50 to be too long...
