Please someone tell me how to get foreground and background in focus, I tried changing the aperture and I tried changing the focus setting to multi focus and this is the best of a bad (out of focus) bunch.
I will try it again sometime (it has been one of those big weeks, this is the best I could do this week)
@shutterbugger seriously not happy with this, boring subject and had a lot of trouble with getting planes of focus right. I want to do a better one, and I will, but it has been a busy week. Thanks for the challenge :)
I've looked through a lot of those shots from that link... I think your focus seems to be fine? Maybe the hand just needs to be a touch straighter? I think you've done a great job, Mon!
I think you did a great job!. Some of those ones are amazing! We did a few like this in New Zealand with a clock tower and we found you had to increase the distance between the camera and the foreground subject... which obviously messes with your composition but it helps the focus thing
I think it works, and it works really well! You also have addedd texture with the sand! but not sure that the sharp focus can be achieved without photoshop on both images. Will check posts later to see if anyone comes up with some ideas :)
I think it's a great try, but I can see why you're not happy. Did you try a different aperture? You're set at f14. Maybe try it full out at f22? That would help with the background focus. I'm going to have to give this a go this weekend, so I can feel your pain!
@shutterbugger, I tried quite a few apertures and remember setting aperture priority to f22 but the camera was struggling on autofocus to choose and on manual I had to choose which one was in focus, the worst part is not knowing how to change this.....
I've just taken some more but I cant keep my 'models' too long while I work it out. I'm not paying them enough ;)
