Pick up Sticks

If you were with my on yesterday's post you know I was struggling to take what looks to me to be a simple shot. But it wasn't for me as I could not seem to get all of it in focus no matter what setting I tried or which lens. Thanks so much for all of your suggestions. It was absolutely a DoF problem which I think I have done pretty well with today. Thanks Danny for reminding me that I could pick my own focal point. I haven't used that feature for a while. I wish I could take another course, knowing more. But maybe that is what I do with you all each and every day. The Academy of 365.
Much better - well done and the idea was great in the first place.
