Really nice. For standard focal length lenses (on film) the method is tight focus and wide aperature, i.e. minimized depth of field. I used to shoot with either Leica rangefinders or a trusty Nikon F with stock 50mm lenses, which naturally give the effect when close focusing in available light. Is the principle the same for digital cameras? That is, do you manually set aperature & shutter speed to achieve it?

Yes, the principle is the same with digital SLRs- the one thing to watch out for is that the lower end dSLRs have a smaller imaging size- your 50mm when mounted to the body will be a 75mm or so lens. It's great if you want reach, but bad if you want a wide angle lens.

The photos that I took, the aperture was actually kind of high- somewhere around f/8 or so. This particular lens has a very shallow depth of field to begin with.

With dSLRs and some advanced point and shoots, you can still set the aperture and shutter speed, also ISO.

Mini?

More like Maxi.

Or something.

I always liked Midi, at least for the standard NuMini. Not large, but not real small either.

thats not 3.1 though... i think that is the Win95 based NT. still funny though

[pimento]

Hard to say, but it looks like an older NT than Win95. Maybe even NT 3.1 actually.

I'm a HAMBer too and have been following this. He's gotten a bunch done in short order! Matt's a good fabricator (though looks like he's using more tubing than needed) and if his buddy's sketches are any indication, when finished it really will look some '50s special.

His chassis is way better so I've resisted posting these pics to his thread... unfinished special for sale in France:

Technically, it's a jpeg.

Hottlinked due to being too large.

[clutch-monkey]

yeah, so.. maybe a bit too close to the barrier on that last lap..

That's not "close" Clutch .... you had at least another 2 inches before the wings rubbed

Real racers dont need wing mirrors anyway ( sprint/hillclimb )
