It was my 33rd birthday the other day. As is traditional on such occasions I went out for a large Laphroaig or 2 (possibly a few more than 2). Another tradition is of course taking a few photos…
I’ve been shooting with my M3 a bit more again recently. It never fails to surprise me just how much I enjoy shooting it. With the Sonnar on the front, I really feel completely at home with it. Of course, a Laphroaig or 7 in, and things can get a little bit less reliable in terms of focusing. Not in any way would I think to pin the blame on the camera/lens mind … In fact, the fact even a few sharp photos is probably testament to the quality of the camera.
That being said, sharpness just doesn’t seem all that relevant to this sort of photography …
One way or another, a good night was had!
If you are interested, the film is HP5, developed and scanned by AG Photo Lab
and one from the pizza shop on the way home

Lovely photos, looks like a nice bunch of people.
Most of them are … 😉
Happy birthday!
I see “+3″… pushed 3 stops? What were the shutter speeds/f stops…or was there too much Laphroaig on board to care 😉
1/50th & f/1.5 – it was very dark
