If you look closely at this shot, you will see a partly obscured sign with the word “raw” printed upon it. It was my intent to include the full sign in the shot, and it was completely visible in the viewfinder but, because the Yashica Mat 124G is a TLR camera, with the taking lens a couple of inches below the viewing lens, the parallax was sufficient to drop half of the sign below the top of the foreground wall. I was quite surprised that the parallax effect would have been noticeable at the distance I was from the subject.
It was out daughter-in-law’s birthday this week so we’ve been round to her and my son’s house this afternoon to celebrate, and it was nice to have a get-together with them, ours, and her immediate family. I felt pretty gloomy this morning after another poor night’s sleep, but the party has cheered me up a lot. Families are very important.
