Lovely shot
You're using a DSLR, they are built for manual operation. Ok, they should, if Nikon etc. wouldn't be such cheapskates and target their cameras at beginners. They should use good viewfinders, bright, big ones, and with these support glasses. My Nikon FM2 was lovely, great to focus manually, very precise and quick. Anyway... on my little Canon I would focus on the red thing, and then press the manual focus/makro button to keep that setting. Your Nikon should have something similar. Only works if you can keep the distance the same though. You should have continous focus on your camera, though I don't know if the thing in focus will have to be in the center or not... if yes you will have to crop later to get to the composition you actually wanted.
That's the way I would work.
Nice photos oic929, I love the second.
@comfortably numb: Wonderful
I like Holgas. The quality of the photos is pretty good though... works, but IMHO a bit strange for a Holga.
