If You Are to Bloom.

I’m thinking of your failing green eyes
Smiling as they greet the day
(But they can’t see me)
Smiling as they greet the day
(But they can’t see me)

And now I’m picturing us opening up wide
Drinking down our days in haze and bliss
Together till it stumbles aside
But I just sit and wait for a rhythm in a perfect little
…Feeling

And you need watering if you are to bloom

The Cyclist.
This is an uncropped image. Technically, it’s a difficult sort of shot to achieve focus, not just because of the motion of the cyclist and the small margin of error involved in photographing at f/1.4, but also because the cyclist is situated a little to the right of centre, away from the focus patch of the rangefinder. To deal with this, some experience and (admittedly) luck, is involved.
Incidentally, the same three issues (quick motion — especially with the subject coming towards the camera, shallow depth of field, and hitting critical focus at the periphery of the frame) can equally frustrate even the most sophisticated autofocus systems. Interestingly, in these situations I seem to have more success with rangefinders.
Now, if only the distracting car behind her wasn’t there, I might have been satisfied with this image.

A third test shot. This was taken one minute before yesterday’s shot, which was taken one minute before the day before yesterday’s shot (are you following that?), at the same intersection.
Anyway, enough of test shots.
I’m currently waiting for my 50mm Summilux ASPH to arrive, at which point the loaner 50mm APO will be returned.
