Hi guys. Next thing i need to learn is the rule of thirds and lead in lines. Going on a shoot at the weekend to put some advice into practice with a few other people so hopefully come on here to get your views and advice.
One of the basic things they were showing us was Differential Focus. Seems pretty straightforward in that you use a small AV and a high zoom length and you are able to focus on something closer or further away. I copied the example by getting my wife to hold an apple in her hand and focussed on the apple, then her face. Worked ok.
But why did it work much better with my 75-300mm lense than my 18-55mm lense? Is it an effect that is exagerated by the zoom?
Sorry no examples as my wife refuses to let me.
How about these from the weekend
Quite pleased with the DOF. Dont worry, i have a holiday booked so a sun tan will follow :-) If you check out some of the others please consider nearly all were in the point and shoot kind of thing.
