Everyone with a DSLR or any camera with a viewfinder,  should occasionally check to make sure the viewfinder is adjusted to their eye. I wear glasses so this is especially important to me. If it’s not adjusted right when you manually focus on something the focus point will be incorrect. Here I was focusing on the 6 (upside down). This is shot at f5.6. You will note the shallow depth of field.

This photo on the other hand was shot at f18 with a longer shutter speed of .4 seconds, notice the depth of field is much greater, in fact the wall is almost in focus.  So when you do the test use the largest aperture (smallest number) available to give the most accurate results.

I photographed this apple blossom (I believe it is an apple blossom) in Carmel, CA. Again, I created three images out of the raw image and combined them as a 32 bit hdr file. Then I edited the tonality and came up with this beauty. If you would like to know more about hdr photography, come to our next photo club meeting in Chowchilla. Go to www.passionforphotos.com for more information.

Happy photographing
