Asttill life arranged with a black & white portrait of my
girlfriend and a rose. The scene was lit by the light of my
little desk lamp. The lens gave nice sharpness on the
foreground and a smooth blur on the background.

As is the case with many other people involved in your site,
my first camera was Praktica too. Actually I stil own it, and I
took it to Santorini last summer, loaded with Kodak HSIE. It's
nice to have camera without infrared sensors when you
shoot on infrared film :)

At the gate by Rich Halferty

Additional data:
Camera: Praktica L 2

I don't know which film I used but I believe it was Konica, 1
don't know the shutter speed used either but I would guess
about 1/30 in natural afternoon light.

"At The Gate" was taken in Ireland about 15 years ago using
the Praktica. It was a gate at the side of an old country road
that opened up to a field in the hills overlooking the town
below.
