A new toy so it’s a portrait of Betty which has been customary for me. This is my sister’s Nikon F3 slr with a 50mm f1.4 lens. I was lucky enough that she let me borrow it so I can play with it as it’s been sitting in her storage for over 5 years. I asked her if I can rescue it and got it when the family met in San Luis Obispo for my nephew’s graduation (more photos of that coming!). It’s an awesome camera and I’ve yet to learn all about it but one thing that bugged me that it needs a battery for the shutter to work..unless I don’t know what I’m doing yet which is a very good possibility. Oh there’s a bit of flare from the light but I love the atmospheric look to the photograph.
