Chinese Proverb

Eggs do not fight against rocks – a Chinese proverb well used by strategists.
I learned Manual Focusing in Live View Mode in the recent camera setting challenge 33. The egg shell is in better focus than autofocus. A very useful setting in Nikon D7000.

Just goes to show! Cameras don't know everything! This is a nice touch!

[Babs]

Wonderful detail on the egg shell.

[Alicias]

I've faved this. It looks really cool. A simple object and a clever idea make this look fantastic.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Beautiful work with focus. I think what I like best about this shot is the contrast of the egg to the rock. The rock looks smooth whereas the egg looks rough- and it should be the other way around! Excellent picture!

[Ian McGuire]

brilliant focus.....now you will force me to learn something new as well and make my head hurt yet again....gak!

great concept, I like the cracklines

[Shepherdman's Wife]

Love the egg. Great idea. Thank you so much for choosing my kittens as your favourite for the week. So lovely of you.

我老用不好m档，虽然有表尺，照出来效果也不好

[Sharon Simpson]

This is an absolute delight....too bad you couldn't show a chicken sticking it's head out! Great composition, Yao!

[Custodia Baptista]

Lovely composition.

[SusieV]

A wondeful depiction of the proverb. I love the detail and colour of the egg contrasted by the soft focus of the rocks Well done!

[Dakotaburns]

Very well done.

[Pamela]

That focus is fantastic. I haven't tried live view mode but do use the manual focus when the lens goes crazy. Love how the light is shining thru the cracks.

[Muriel Scheurer]

Beautiful! Focus is indeed great, love to see all those little cracks on the eggshell.

[Ginny]

I love this shot :)

[Eric di Bosco]

Great use of the technique...real sharp focus! Lovely composition to portray your proverb!

[Jacqui Paterson]

Love the image/proverb combination. Awesome

[Angela Tavan]

ditto for what Jacqui said!
