Argh
The annoying but tolerable sore throat I've been having for the last couple of days seems to have turned into a more proper cold. No fever at least, but might as well be, considering the headache and the overall stuffy and sluggish feeling.
It'd better pass soon, as it seems to have had an effect on my mental faculties too... just spent a while practising with the FA 50mm f/1.7 lens, and had completely forgotten how to use it on my camera. So unless I went into full manual mode and used the AE lock button, the aperture stayed resolutely at f/1.7 no matter what I did. Of course, it was only after I'd got tired of trying and put the camera away, it dawned on me that the camera came with a rather nice manual for a reason. *headdesk* I'd better remember to keep the aperture ring on A and use the Av mode if I want to set the aperture myself.
That's what happens when one has only one older lens and hasn't used it for months.
I did get one reasonably nice pic of Pätsu though while trying to figure out what I was doing wrong.
Still at f/1.7... I have to say that sometimes I do like the very shallow DOF, and the lens is sharp enough for my purposes even when wide open.
