Lesson 4

[darume]

Hi everyone.. I just need to know if I am on the right track with this.. I realise the lighting is all over the place but am I right with the F4 and F22 pics for the assignment?? Don't want to submit if I am totally off track.. Will definitely try and get better photo's in better lighting but just wanted to see if this is the kind of thing they are after??

Thank you for your time..

good DOF shots

Hi Darume. I think you did well. With the right aperture you've set, you got both the great DoF on pic #1 and the shallow DoF on pic#2.
Even though you haven't gotten a composition lesson yet, I think it's better if you try to capture the pictures in a better composition too, and the lighting as you said above. There are so much pictures of other members on the forum with a very good composition for your references. Hope that helps.

Thank you so much for comments and advice.. Very much appreciated.. Yep will definitely go out and get some different shots to submit and will do a few searches on here for composition and such also.. Just glad to know I am understanding what is being asked.. :)

Thanks again..

I think you've got it, Darume. Good DOF on those shots.

Can someone please be so kind and explain me this sentence?

"shooting an object, which for all practical purposes is an infinite distance from the camera, will result in the camera being focused on infinity and the depth of field being infinite too."

Thank you!

Hi Joel,

My thoughts of what is meant by "infinity" in your text above would be the most far away distant 'thing' on which the camera can focus... eg. mountains in the distance.

>>>>>> I just googled to see what I could find. I think this is a better explanation:

Infinity
In photographic terms is a distance great enough to be unaffected by finite vibration. In practice this relates to most subjects beyond 1000 meters or in landscape terms, the horizon.

Check out the link... there are a few other explanations also.

I hope this helps a little.
