hey i wonder how did you manage to look thru the viewfinder to focus?

[Sable]

Whee. My view from Melaka
Didn't have any ND at hand, so I dismantled an old floppy disk and put the "ND Filter" in front of my lens

I set manual focus... to infinity... & didn't really look through
the viewfinder, just squint my eyes, saw the sun in the middle
and press shutter... 1/8000sec is fast enough to minimize camera shakes..
