this is where the focus is

Had my close-up filters on and decided to play around with the live view focus and now I know how to magnify and change the focus area - yeh I know - I am a bloody slow learner - so this is one of the images - will post more - it was fun!

[Osia Strasner]

How fun!! Is that like a macro filter?! I think you have done a great job with that....love the color and the crop!

[Annie D]

@panthora yes Osia the fit on like a filter - the crop was SOOC - you have no idea how long it takes me to focus hahahaha

[Simply Amanda]

Nice focus!!

[Graeme Stevens]

Rather lovely

[Annie D]

@amandal having a practice :)
@graemestevens I'm blushing hahahahahahaha

[Ukandie!]

Super shot, love the contrast of color against the black background.

[LaC1ndy]

Love! :)

[Maggiemae]

Sounds like you do all the focusing with your view finder? Is that what live view focus is? Great colour in this flower!

[Annie D]

@maggiemae live view is using the LCD screen - I have mostly used the viewfinder in the past

[Susan.T.]

This is lovely on a black back ground Annie.Orange & Yellow go so well together.

[Newbank Lass]

I'm learning slowly too. But I seem to shake and wobble lots. Gorgeous shot.

Great play of focus, Annie - good composition!

[Jocasta]

[Annie D]

@newbank oh Ruth - I really let my emotions and spontaneity rule - I try to learn and my mind wanders hahahahaha

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

Beautiful! Haven't got filters or a macro lens, sounds difficult :-)

[Annie D]

@overalvandaan lol it is easier than you think - the close up filters are cheap to buy - if I can do it you certainly Can Saxa :)

[Kareen King]

Beautiful, Annie. Fav.

[Eve Pulsater]

Wow! Pin point accuracy on the focus there Miss Annie.

[Clare Gadsby]

If this is the kind of shot live view focus produces, maybe I should have a go. Congrats on persevering with it. This is a beautiful shot

[john morley]

Colours against the dark and the selective focus , excellent..

[Denise fuller]
