The different angle and lighting and a different exposure bias produced bokeh also. There are only limited manual settings that I can change on my camera and the most useful one seems to be the exposure bias. So much to learn!!
Can you opt for Aperture Priority on your camera? I am finding that to be one of the most useful settings. I like to choose how much light and dof I am getting - I let the camera work out the shutter speed and ISO most of the time. I find full manual very hard to get my head around on modern digital cameras, old fogey that I am!!
@casablanca Hi Casablance - thanks so much for your suggestion! I finally got a chance to get out the manual for the camera. Found a couple of new things - but no Aperture Priority. It lets me program some things such as the ISO, shutter speed in dark conditions, white balance, exposure bias and different exposure formats - but then it always works out the aperture itself. It was good to have a look though - and thanks again for the suggestion! Cheers Rob
@louisanoffke They do look pointy from this angle - but the tops are flat. The funny dagger tooth that protrudes straight out at the end of the jaw was quite confusing when we found the first jaw - it looked so weird!
