Our Hangout

Stormin...

I know I haven't been posting too many pictures in the midst of getting ready for this photo show etc. But I have been taking them, so, as per your request, Ian, here's one I took last week. Yes, early last week we had, what I think was the last storm of the year, I'll try to post some of the other pictures from that day over the next few days.

This is also me fooling around with extreme depth of field (see last post). What I've realized is that the charts you download are a good starting point. But different lenses are, well, different. And as a result, the results you get using the charts might be less than perfect (much less in the case of my first tries). So, I've had to sit down with my wide angle lens in front of a landscape and take many pictures of the same landscape at different distances at each f/stop to discover the sweet spots at those distances and f/stops. It's tedious but you end up with the right measurements for your particular lens. There are some sites that allow you to find your own brand if you're willing to look. I've enjoyed the process though, because it allowed me to actually see the results.
