Canonet QL17

My beautiful little girl sporting a chocolate mustache from shoving a cupcake into her face.

I mentioned earlier that I had picked up a Canonet QL17 and I've been trying to get the hang of it. It's not a complicated camera. Just your basic shutter speed and aperture settings, the shutter realease, and the focus ring. But the focusing is what I can't seem to get under control. The majority of my frames are coming out way out of focus. Sometimes I get lucky and get a frame with soft focus that works for the image like this one. Getting my composition right is also a challange. The Canonet is a rangefinder camera and what you see through the viewfinder is a little different than what you get with an SLR which is what I'm used to. I do like that the camera is small though. And super quiet. I just need to practice with it more I guess.
