Photograph and Camera talk

[Snowy]

Gr & Gi, lovely photos, for different reasons, obviously ::)

Snowy, that's one of my brother's shots. I can't take credit.

Given the interest in both photography and mechanical watches on this forum, I thought that I'd draw attention to Kwanghun Hyun's clockwork pinhole cameras. They use a re-purposed Unitas movement to drive the shutter.

The photos produced live up to the hoary cliche of being dreamy.

sees what he's up against… slinks of again quietly

But before I do... How is it possible to do this??

I suspect it's to do with the auto-focus not kicking in before the timer goes off, but how?

ducks head, runs off

MP that's a new high, even for you :).

I think it's focused close to the camera, not past you, as if it was infinity, something would be in focus. As such, it's focused on something before you got in front - correct. My SLR's focus at the moment the self-timer's engaged. What camera do you use? I'd like to nut out the problem

^ At the moment, Canon Powershot G12

Answered; it focuses when the self timer button is depressed, not when it takes the photo;

Same problem I had with my SLR's which is why an IR remote comes in handy.

is a $20 solution

http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/37772451 is a thread with more options on the fix.

PS I don't understand who on earth would ever want to focus at the moment self-timer was set….

[Morose_Penguin]

Thanks for the reply who know what will happen in the future…

[Giles]

When pressing the shutter release, make sure you are not in the field of vision.  Use Aperture Priority and set for smallest aperture (largest F number).  Or guesstimate distance from camera to where you will be and set to manual focus at that distance….

For Rafa:
After debating with myself for a year, I bought me a new camera. I wanted a small camera with a high image quality. In the end I had to decide between the Fuji X100s and the Ricoh GR. A retailer had both cameras, so I could compare them side by side.
I went with the Ricoh. It´s a fixed lens, APSC size sensor, compact camera. I think it´s the smallest APSC camera on the market. It fit in a IH westernshirt pocket. For this size, the image quality is amazing. Full review on dpreview: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/ricoh-gr .
