Out and about pt 2

[Ben Egbert]

I actually took a few images a couple days back. I was very unsteady on my feet plus my eyes are getting hard to focus.

this was the only one that might be in focus. Please let me know if it is, I can set up a tripod and stop down to get focus but I need to know if it is me or the camera. I can’t see very well on my computer

Autofocus got the center of the flower as its focal point. The pink tulips and the purple behind look nice.

When I am doing handheld I set the f/stop to around f/11 and the speed to at least 1/120s with auto ISO. No reason for hauling out a tripod with those settings.

Pin sharp on the back of the petals. Not enough depth of field for the front of the petals. Ken

What Ken said about the focus. Alan’s suggested approach works pretty nicely without the tripod. ISO isn’t much of an issue with modern cameras esp the R5 you have.

Thanks guys my wife has a motorized wheelchair I can use when the light improves that will give me a place to sit and take some time

Agree with Ken, but still a nice image Ben

Very nice Ben. I know you will nail the focus. I think I have mentioned I prefer f13, that will help your DOF.
