No, I didn&#8217;t trip and fall nor did I drop the roll of film into a drain nearby. It was worse! After a couple of initial shots, I decided to take a &#8216;shortcut&#8217; and set the lens to focus at infinity while shooting at a small aperture. Not that there&#8217;s anything wrong with that but I totally forgot that the lens is a 50mm one, and I was shooting from the hip (errr &#8230; it&#8217;s more like from my tummy) and as usual, I love street shooting from close. This means I was shooting from 1 meter or less from my subjects. Not only the photos were out of focus, but they were mostly photos of people&#8217;s hips and legs (I swear I ain&#8217;t no prevert!)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The result? Mostly out of focus photos. So out of focus that even a blurred and fuzzy photo fan like me find it unacceptable. Damn!
