Neil,

An f stop wider than f9.5 (as indicated by Photome) used for the first of your images here, would give you much more control over your out-of-focus areas.

The lens focal length reported was 55mm - even if this was the kit zoom, you've got ample scope to open up more to achieve this.

I'm not going to get in a twist about this

I'll keep on practising shooting manually - but when I'm out and about I'll probably use Av most of the time - depending on the situation of course
That's the crux of it - you're in charge of the camera, it does what you tell it to. You've got flexibility to use any mode you like, according to your circumstances.

While the Concorde's Olympus engines may be one thing, one entrepreneurial engine manufacturer is looking at replica Merlins...

Neil,

For me, the first works best, on account of the way you have managed to isolate the subject better with your choice of DoF. We have a batch of quinces in the fruit bowl here now, as it happens - great 'olde worlde' fruit.

Where's Oggy when you need him
At work.


Bottom line - if she ever flies again, I'll eat my hat*. Would love to see it though.


*and that is serious because the only hat I have is my crash helmet.
Hmm... nothin' like the hat in Rocky & Bullwinkle then...
Hey Presto

Guy on Safari was entering all the data re game sightings into his journal - along with their GPS positions! Doesn't he realise they will have moved next time he goes on a drive? (He came from across the pond)
He might have been taking pics of the painted concrete replicas?
