A Couple Of Garden Portraits

[Craftysnapper]

A couple of snaps taken in the back garden of the grandkids taken with my new 70mm f/1.8 lens, I have had to learn to use my left eye due to a sudden loss of sight in my right eye (long story) but they seemed to have turned out in focus. The only problem is my nose now smears the rear screen.

Great family pics Oly.....

It appears that we two have something in common currently.......after my very recent retinal surgery it will take between three to six months before I know how well I will see again.....currently all seems to be on track.

Had a bit of a setback this morning when I had problems focussing for long when using my large desktop monitor......its early days yet though.

Thank you Fugi, sorry to hear about your eye problems and I hope they are resolved soon, I know how frustrating it is to not be able to do something you are passionate about.

 

Mine has come about as a rare side effect of aggressive chemo therapy and has effected the optic nerve( basicly the the heavy metal in the chemo has fried the optic nerve),they have put me on a very high dose of steriods for two months as this sometimes helps to heal the optic nerve.

Both great pictures Paul, the flesh tones have reproduced beautifully. I particularly like #1 with the distracted eyes and the natural pose.
