Thanks to the camera settings challenge crew I've had a go with live view today which I never normally use. I also used manual focus - this always poses some issues because my eyesight isn't the best and my glasses always seem to have smudges on them no matter how often I clean them!!!
My glasses are the same - I have to clean them at least 5 times a day! It is difficult with focus when you wear glasses! This is a lovely feather and nicely lit for the fluffy part!
This is very cool - good for you using live view and manual focus. I understand about the smudgy glasses only too well however i am finding that using manual focus and live view with a tripod this is helping me focus easier. Early days for me too.
