I am again two months behind. Oh well. This was a fine evening in very dim lighting. As someone who sometimes shoots under just starlight, I shouldn’t have been deterred, but I kept stumbling with the autofocus, and it’s very frustrating. The first two photos were all I could manage. The third is from a walk the night before, to get to some restaurant (of which I can only remember the good company of our friend Otto and amazing fried chicken). <div class=”center”> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/mels_birthday/393/0001.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/mels_birthday/393/0002.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/mels_birthday/393/0003.jpg’ /> </div>
