Dude -- you need to use a tripod and get in that birthday photo with the rest of your family! Years from now your kids will remember Dad as being the guy holding the camera who never got in any of the pictures.

My personal preference in close-up doggie portraits is to go for a little narrower aperture. Because dogs that have a longer nose/deeper face are tougher to photograph than people, their nose tends to slip out of focus when using what I think of as a wide 'portrait' aperture. When I look at my dog, I see him with his eyes and nose in focus and I think of him that way when I take a portrait. My preference is to try to get the whole head in focus without bokeh (well, at least the eyes and nose but not always the ears), but that's just my artistic vision that not everyone may agree with.
I really like the third image the most -- the first two images look like he's a model putting up with a photographer who just keeps shooting, but in the third one he looks like he's tired and happy after a long day outside.A narrower/smaller aperture would have been ideal but these snaps were hand held and the shutter speed was already 1/15 sec at 1.4 max! So that's where that story ends.
It was nice to see than my $20 N80 nails focus at 1.4 too. Something my mighty $1200 F6 often fails to do.
I keep forgetting how awesome the N80 is.I just bought another N80 today. Super practical little cameras.
N80, 28-70 f/3.5-4.5D, Tri-X, ball in grass.

Also have that lens, as well as the later G version it came kitted with. Ridiculously good lenses.
If you told someone you used an F6 for that pic, no-one would have doubted you. The only reason I spend more on a P&S camera is I can slip them in my pocket.
Yeah, it's close to some of the bigger P&S cameras but certainly not pocketable. The N75/N80 shines for me as the perfect around-the-house camera. You've got a flash, you've got autofocus, you've got a great meter, and the world is your oyster with cratering F-mount lens prices. It's the perfect way to annoy all members of the family, two-legged or four

“Wow, how old were you?”
“18 months”

Maybe Shawn should buy a bunch of film, store it next to the furnace and give it to him for his thirty birthday.

Finally developed my first roll. First time developing film, and so also the first time I tried home scanning with the SL2-S and the Leica Apo-Macro-Elmarit-R with the 1:1 ELPRO.
The view from above the train tracks leading from Zürich main station. Nikon F2AS with the 50mm f/1.2 AI-s on Ilford HP5+. Lots to learn about developing and scanning still, but happy to have images on the roll at all tbh! It was a thrill seeing that it worked.

Excellent! And congrats on your first roll. I never get tired of seeing the negatives when I pull them out of the dev tank.
