Within Limitations
Sometimes knowing what your gear can't do is as rewarding as knowing what it can.
I shot this with an old M42 system Russian Mir-1V lens, attached to my Nikon D40. I can't focus on far objects with this setup due to physics; the Nikon body puts the M42 system lens 1 mm further out than it is supposed to sit. Not a match made in haven, definitely.
Yes, it is kind of annoying actually having to let go scenes that are too further up on a tree, or somewhere across the street. Still, I try to make the most out of the limitations and think of scenes that I can shoot rather than those I have to let go.
It made my day.
