Background info:
The focus ring on my 55-year-old inexpensive mystery lens seized up yesterday morning and no longer turns (maybe that’s why it was priced so low).
I spent the whole day moving myself backwards and forwards to achieve focus at the the precise distance where the focus ring is stuck. I’m glad I did that for this shot.
I’ll post a few more images in the next few days.
In the interim, I need to make a decision: do I return the lens, or do I send it somewhere for adjustment?

This portrait was created less than 48 hrs ago on the evening of June 21 — the Summer Solstice.
The longest day of the year in the Northern hemisphere, but it also represents the end of spring.
As you can see, the light was fantastic.
The inexorable march to darkness,
and madness,
begins
now.

A few observations:
—Peter.
I was thinking of Henri Cartier-Bresson’s famous shot when I took this.
(his image is more interesting — for many reasons)
On a related note, I’ve gone back and edited all my soccer-related images and added the category The Beautiful Game to each one, so that I no longer have to type “The Beautiful Game” in the title or in the post.
—Peter.
