No need to comment. This is a learning process with my new used Canon. Shot this morning on a tripod with a remote shutter (to minimize camera shake) after I spent way too much time trying to get the tripod in the right spot with the right height and level. I used the 18-55mm lens. Oddly enough, it worked better on the macro setting with auto focus vs. all manual where I could not get a good focus at all.
The squirrels did a number on these half eaten cones and I thought they'd make a nice textured shot.
@milaniet Thank you very much, Milanie. There's nothing wrong with your shots, but a tripod does help and for me probably the remote shutter too - since I'm pretty shaky anyway.
They sure do and I love the focus. Strange thing about photography that gets me every time. It's all about the right settings, timing and camera shake. I have a tripod and remote but never use them, I just don't have the time to fiddle around. Wonderful focus and dof here Mags!
I always use auto focus, my eyes are not as good as the cameras auto focus, most of the time I use aperture setting. Even when I use manual for speed, aperture and ISO I still use auto focus. Now where did I put my glasses?
@ludwigsdiana Thank you so much, Diana. That's where image stabilization with my little old Kodak spoiled me, but I did want a DSLR that would act like a film camera. =)
@larrysphotos LOL! I know what you mean, Larry. There's actually a diopter in the viewfinder to adjust for my eyesight and was surprised to find and use. =)
