Front focused (or rear-end focused from Kailey's point of view)

I used focus peaking while manually focusing. Once again focus peaking on the Z6
turns out to be too crude a tool when shooting wide open. To really nail focus
you need to magnify the image in the viewfinder.

However I'm still posting this because of the interesting effect. I shot through
a chain link fence that was about 1/3 the way between the camera and Kailey.
Can you see it?

Best viewed at original size.

Beautiful contrast. I wouldn't have know it was a fence, just some unusual bokeh.

I can barely see it. It adds interesting textures.

I can see the fence, but I probably wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't mentioned it.

You could mistake the fence for mowing lines :) Interesting !

Can see the fence. My technique is to move as close to the fence as possible to make it disappear or come close. What aperture did you use?

It is fun to try the old lenses on mirrorless. I can see the ghost fence once I look for it.

Yes, I can see the fence in this interesting rear-view.
