Another slide scan form long ago. I took this one-handed holding the camera at arms length to get this shot.

There were 5 of these on the window screen, but every time I tried to get close enough to shoot them one would bug out (hahaha- bug out, get it? I'm so funny! :roll: ) so I just stuck it out there and looked through the viewfinder to make sure he was at least in the frame. Actual distance from the camera was about 2 feet.

This pic is a crop of the original to rotate things for the right perspective. Notice the weird DOF area because of the camera angle. I shot a half-roll of film & this was the only one even close to being in focus.

Damien- too true & today that's what I'd use in this situation. Unfortunately, there weren't any digital cameras in 1976 when this was taken. :wink:

Metroshane- yeah, and he bailed right after this was taken. didn't like the company I guess. :)
